I've found a number of 117 nested spheres with this code, which cause

the "Too many nested objects" error message. If  Particles<117, then it's OK
for spheres.

But for boxes the limit is Particles<112

//--------------------8<------------------

#declare Particles=117;
#macro Particle(Radius)
 sphere{0,Radius+1}

//box{-(Radius+1),Radius+1}
#end

union{
#declare R=0;
#while (R < Particles)
  Particle(R)
  #declare R=R+1;
#end
}
//--------------------8<------------------
