A variety of modifiers may be attached to objects. The following items may be applied to any object:

OBJECT_MODIFIER:
  clipped_by { UNTEXTURED_SOLID_OBJECT... } |
  clipped_by { bounded_by }                 |
  bounded_by { UNTEXTURED_SOLID_OBJECT... } |
  bounded_by { clipped_by }                 |
  no_shadow                  |
  no_image [ Bool ]          |
  no_radiosity [ Bool ]      |
  no_reflection [ Bool ]     |
  inverse                    |
  sturm [ Bool ]             |
  hierarchy [ Bool ]         |
  double_illuminate [ Bool ] |
  hollow  [ Bool ]           |
  interior { INTERIOR_ITEMS... }                        |
  material { [MATERIAL_IDENTIFIER][MATERIAL_ITEMS...] } |
  texture { TEXTURE_BODY }   |
  interior_texture { TEXTURE_BODY } |
  pigment { PIGMENT_BODY }   |
  normal { NORMAL_BODY }     |
  finish { FINISH_ITEMS... } |
  photons { PHOTON_ITEMS...}
  radiosity { RADIOSITY_ITEMS...}
  TRANSFORMATION

When applied to CSG components these modifiers work as expected: All Transforms, inverse, bounded_by, clipped_by, cutaway_textures, Hierarchy, and sturm. However by design some modifiers are not passed from nested objects to a CSG resultant involving those objects. This is true when using the following keywords and / or keyword blocks: no_image, no_reflection, no_shadow, no_radiosity, double_illuminate, hollow, photons and radiosity. Setting split_union off provides the exception with unions and their accepting unions.

Although the examples below use object statements and object identifiers, these modifiers may be used on any type of object such as sphere, box etc.
