I hqve the ewirdest thing: I copied a Round_Box_Union, but cannot give it a
texture, like the round_box I copied it from. In the 2nd I get this error (note:
only in the 2nd one, not the first! ???)
Parse Error: Expected 'object or directive', texture found instead
#declare listBox=union{
Round_Box_Union
(
//<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.25, -7>, 0.2)
<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.5, -7>, 0.2)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
Round_Box_Union
(
//<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.25, -7>, 0.2)
<-8.5, 0.25, 6> <-7.5, 1.25, -7>, 0.1)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
This has worked before, before I added the 2nd Round_Box I did get a nicely
rendered
Round_Box, with fancy Gold_1A texture and all.

try this instead ...
#declare listBox =
union {
object {
Round_Box_Union (<-7, 0.25, 6>, <-1, 1.5, -7> 0.2)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
object {
Round_Box_Union (<-8.5, 0.25, 6>, <-7.5, 1.25, -7>, 0.1)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
};

just a single missing curly bracket "{" after the second round_box_union...

Jim already posted the proper solution; to understand what is happening,
let's reformat your code to better see the structure (which is always a
good idea when you get errors you don't understand):
#declare listBox = union {
Round_Box_Union(<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.5, -7>, 0.2)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
Round_Box_Union(<-8.5, 0.25, 6> <-7.5, 1.25, -7>, 0.1)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
Now recall that the Round_Box_Union macro evaluates to a union itself,
so here's an outline of what your code evaluates to:
#declare listBox = union {
union {...}
texture {T_Gold_1A}
union {...}
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
As you can see, the texture statements doen't pertain to each individual
rounded box union - they pertain to your whole listBox union instead.
Which is obviously not what you intended to do.
In this case, where the textures are identical, the solution is trivial:
Just remove the first texture statement. However, if you need one of the
boxes to have a different texture, you'll have to apply the textures to
the individual boxes.
Obviously you can't add the textures to the Round_Box_Union in a
straightforward way, as that's a macro. However, if you first assign the
macro results to an identifier, the solution should be pretty obvious:
#declare MyRoundedBox1 = Round_Box_Union(...)
#declare MyRoundedBox2 = Round_Box_Union(...)
#declare listBox = union {
object { MyRoundedBox1 texture {...} }
object { MyRoundedBox2 texture {...} }
}
And, as Jim already demonstrated, the object statement doesn't
necessarily require an identifier; you can instead insert full-fledged
object descriptions there, e.g.:
object { sphere {...} ... }
This of course is pretty useless for verbatim object descriptions, but
is pretty useful when using macros that expand to a full object
description - as in your case:
#declare listBox = union {
object { Round_Box_Union(...) texture {...} }
object { Round_Box_Union(...) texture {...} }
}

I agree that code formatting is important. However, when you reformatted
it, you actually removed the error! (Thus underscoring how easy it is to
overlook errors in poorly formatted code.)
The original code was this:
#declare listBox=union{
Round_Box_Union
(
//<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.25, -7>, 0.2)
<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.5, -7>, 0.2)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
Round_Box_Union
(
//<-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.25, -7>, 0.2)
<-8.5, 0.25, 6> <-7.5, 1.25, -7>, 0.1)
texture {T_Gold_1A}
}
If we carefully reformat it, we get:
#declare listBox = union
{
Round_Box_Union( <-7, 0.25, 6> <-1, 1.5, -7>, 0.2 )
texture { T_Gold_1A }
}
Round_Box_Union( <-8.5, 0.25, 6> <-7.5, 1.25, -7>, 0.1 )
texture { T_Gold_1A }
}
See the problem now? Look how obvious it becomes with proper indentation!

yep ... without fail it's usually cures my syntax woes ;-)
