Radiance Measure Fail - too many points

Hello everyone,

I'm running daylight calculations using OS 2.3 and the Radiance Daylight Measure from the BCL.

When I run the simulation the workflow is stopped imediately after the Radiance Measure is "completed" and the E+ annual simulation is skipped. If I just run the simulation without adding the Radiance Measure the annual calcs are executed without a problem.

Everytime I run the Radiance Measure I get this message in the stdout file:

ERROR: Too many calculation points in model (13024). Consider reducing the number or resolution of illuminance maps in this model.

Does anyone know if this could be remediated by using a more powerful computer? If not, does anyone know what would be the maximum allowable number of calculation points? Is there any other workaround?

I'd greatly appreciate any help.
