Hello,
I have used ooml for designing a piece that is made by extruding a
polygon, and when I have previewed the openSCAD code, I have noticed
that the normals for the surfaces were inverted, and the surfaces were
show purple instead of yellow, as usual.
Another thing I'd like to know is why the polygon extrusion is
implemented as a polyhedron, despite the fact that the usual way to
perform that in openSCAD is by using the linear_extrude() function
(and that way the normals are always ok).

Could you paste the OOML code, the generated OpenSCAD code, and the OpenSCAD code you would expect?
Thanks,

Sure! But I have used windows version of OpenSCAD and it doesn't appear (I'm having some issues with openSCAD on Linux and it is not executing anymore, so I have to use the Windows version by the moment). So I'm going to make some tests and then I'll send an email with the source code and the expected one.--
