-The original shape can be transformed any number of times. For example, the same cylinder can be rotated, making copies of the cylinders, and then unioned together.

For example, the a single cylinder can be rotated and translated to make multiple copies of the original. And then, the set of cylinders can be combined together using union. This is a common pattern when creating complex designs.
  
 The transforms return a single shape or an array of shapes depending on the given shapes. The transforms return a single shape or an array of shapes depending on the given shapes.

-The standard for all 3D systems today, including graphics cards, design tools, etc. is orientating shapes using the right-hand rule. JSCAD follows the same rules internally, and produces shapes, applies transforms, etc. using the right-hand rule of orientation. +The standard for all 3D systems today, including graphics cards, design tools, etc. is orientating shapes using the right-hand rule.
