I'm amazed with openJSCAD!
I hope I'm not annoying anybody with my questions:

1- A way to copy/clone a body?
2- Is there a simple way to intersect a body with a plane and get the 2D path footprint?
3- Which method on a body get the surface polygons?

Thank you very much.

+Anthony Liekens , thank you for the response.  Please give me an example, let's say:

var cube = CSG.cube({
  center: [0, 0, 0],
  radius: [1, 1, 1]
});

var cube2 = ?

How to define cube as its own function?

Found some of it, didn't try them yet:
2) solid.sectionCut()
3) solid.polygons , gives an array of polygons

+Anthony Liekens , ok, thank you for the explanation.
Unfortunately I was looking for some way to clone an existing solid. But I understand there is no simple way for this, so I'll keep in mind your solution.
