      What is the canonical way to create an empty OpenJSCAD object?
      I have some code where I need to union() several objects, but each of them is optional.
      I would like to write something like:

      o = empty_object()
      if (cond1) {
        o = union(o, ...)
      }
      if (cond2) {
        o = union(o, ...)
      }
      if (cond3) {
        o = union(o, ...)
      }
      

      I can probably do something like:

      o = intersect(cube(), translate([0, 0, 100], cube()))
      

      But I would rather have something more descriptive.

        @udif great question!

        There are three main objects; geom3, geom2, and path2. You can create empty versions of these…

        const a = geom3.create()
        const b = geom2.create()
        const c = path2.create()
