Well, in this case (using just 5 masses and 2 connections), it's easy to simply place
a sphere
where you would normally use the show_all_objects () macro. You can access the mechsim
data
quite easily within your scene file:

sphere {
mechsim:mass(2):position, mechsim:mass(2):radius
  texture {
    pigment { rgb <1,0.4,0.2>*2}
      finish {ambient 0 diffuse 1 specular 1 roughness 0.01}
           }
}

Thanks.

All the best,
