  I once asked if anybody had developed a routine for object collision
avoidance which I believe is what you will need to fill a cylinder or
any other shape without them overlapping. Dan Connely replied that
he had seen one recently but I can't remember where the posted reply
is located at. Dan if your out there could you fill in the blanks.
