Hey guys,

I have a model composed of bunch of clumps and some standalone spheres. 

First I create the clumps cloud in the desired volume and then I create the standalone particles packing. The packing can be either random packing (spheres cloud) or regular packing (like orthogonal). 
The problem is the spheres packing takes also the volume occupied by the clumps. 
Some spheres are completely inside a clump and number of spheres and clumps are big and so using calm() is not the best solution. 

Can we kind of exclude the volume occupied by the clumps from the packing generation?

Thank you.

Behzad
