You could loop through all the vertices and use VertexCoords to move them to the same location as their original. Ie:

newmesh = copymesh(orgmesh)
for i = 1 to countsurfaces(orgmesh)
  surf = GetSurface(orgmesh, i)
  surf2 = GetSurface(newmesh, i)
  for j = 0 to countvertices(surf) - 1
    vertexcoords surf2, j, vertexx(surf, j), vertexy(surf, j), vertexz(surf, j)
  next
next

Another way is to render the mesh in a few passes: render -> new position ->render again, to make it look like there is two meshes.
