I've been pretty puzzeled as to what the radius and falloff distance options do.

I'd imagine it adjust the size and distance of your light; however, when I play with these options, nothing seems to happen.

Here are two pictures of the spot and point light with different radius and falloff distance settings and they still look the same. My "fast preview" is set to Off (Final Quality) so I can't imagine it's an issue there.

How are you creating that geometry? It doesn't look like flat 3-D layers. Everything is working fine for me.

Have you gone through the tutorials on the Video Copilot website for Element 3D? You have to set up the rendering and the camera before they interact with AE's comp camera. I don't have time to generate screenshots for you right now but the workflow is fully covered in the tutorials.

I am using a plugin called Element 3D. It works when I use 3D After Effects geometry. Maybe it just doesn't work with E3D.

I am still trying to figure out what Falloff Distance does though. It seems like at 0 or 10,000 nothing changes.
