You currently cannot create a sphere as such (certainly not
transparent). But you there is some workarounds:

1.) create a generic object and add a dot (although the dot will be a
square esp when larger)

2.) put a dummy atom at the required position and display as
ball'n'stick model (or for mock transparency as dotted surface).

Hope this helps,
