Warp already gave that reply, but with a chunk of #if around it, so I
thought I'd put it here for simplicity:

union{} takes several objects.
object{} takes just one.

So, instead of union{}, just use object{}, but once you'll use more than one
actual object there, I think POV-Ray issues not only a warning, but stops as
well. That's the point where Warp's #if come in: check if you actually have
one or more objects, and then use object{}/union{} as required.

Greets,
Tim
