I would like to add an object to a union, but have no/least affect on the
scene.
So far I have: box{-.001,.001 pigment {rgbt 1}}
I'm thinking that as long as the box is smaller than the other objects in
the union and is translated with then, I can keep the auto bounding for the
union small. Does rgbt 1 mean completely transparent, and so not seen in the
scene? Is the box the most optimized object?
Thank you for any help.

  Why?

I am trying to write a plugin for moray with Fullmoon scripting plugin, and
a posible solution to a problem i'm having is to group a #declare(I want)
with an object(I don't want) and put the result into a union with an
isosurface. I want to keep the #declare and isosurface together, but a union
must have at least one object in it.

What about "sphere {0,0}" ?

That should do it

  Sorry, I didn't understand.
