Using this file, I created a 3D mesh over the box(as well as the two balls in it). I need to be able to have a mesh( created over the box) so that the gmsh file lists the tetrahedral elements according which physical volume( ball1, ball2, or the complement of them in the box) they belong to.

The last lines of geometry.geo have:

    Volume(1) = {2};
    Volume(2) = {3};
    Volume(3) = {1, 2};

The last should read

    Volume(3) = {1, 2, 3};

if the second sphere is also to internally bound it.
