How to reflect an object in itself?

Is it possible that an object reflects in itself?
I like to receive a self reflection on a metallic object.
So basicially, the two rings of the mechanism should be reflected in the lower part.
Thank you very much in advance!

You want an object to reflect itself when using a three.js renderer.
Environment mapping, which you have implemented, is based on an approximation that the environment being reflected is (infinitely) far away.
Even if you used a CubeCamera for your environment map, as in this example, you would have the same problem.
The solution using three.js is to use a form of raytracing. three.js has a RaytracingRenderer, and a simple demo, but that renderer is currently not highly-supported, nor does it run at real-time frame rates.

Three.js: polyhedron rounded corners (faces)

I've created a polyhedron and it has rounded corners (or even faces - I don't know which explanation is correct). How can I set border-radius?
Is it possible to remove rounding and make usual corners?
Code is below.

Do you mean smooth faces?
The way to make your edges 'hard' is to first add this to your material options:
shading: THREE.FlatShading,
And then possibly:
geometry.computeVertexNormals()

Three.js polygon/polyhedron name or title

Here is a sample code of my page. I want to get name of object, when user clicks it. And it works well with cube or sphere, but fails with polygon.
You may watch console logs to see clicks responds.
What should I do to get polygon name on click?

The call to THREE.SceneUtils.createMultiMaterialObject() (to create your polyhedron) returns a THREE.Object3D where the call to THREE.Mesh() (to create your sphere and cube) returns a THREE.Mesh. So they are different entities but you treat them the same. If instead you call:
polyhedron = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x00cc00 } ) );
then you can get the name of your polyhedron, since now polyhedron is of type THREE.Mesh()
Otherwise you would have to parse the children of the polyhedron (since it is a THREE.Object3D())

Three.js: polyhedron click (raycaster intersect)

I'm making a Three.js application and I want to catch clicks on objects. When I create cube or sphere everything is ok, but I fail with polyhedron - Raycaster.intersectObjects() returns empty result.
My code is below (see click events in console.log()).
What can I do to make it work? Are there other ways to create polyhedrons?

THREE.js rotation on loaded file

I've been playing around with this ThreeJS library for a couple of weeks now, and using inspiration from others, I've made a canvas that displays an external .stl-file.
My only problem is I can't seem to apply any transformations to it. I can move the camera around just fine, but I can't get even the most simple transformations to work. I'm not best with JavaScript, so I might have missed some essential parts.

The last lines before the render() function just gives me a black, blank page.
Even things like model.position.x += 0.02; kills it

I could find the mistake here , but sorry some how not able to port your code to JSFIDDLE
Here is the problem I found,
model variable is not declared in the global scope. It is initialized locally in the init() function and you are trying the manipulate that variable with in the render function, where it does not have any scope.
So the solution is Just declare the variable model before calling the init() function just like other variables that you are declaring there by adding this below line.
var model;
