|||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the upper angular point of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Repeat this for all other angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the upper intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 5 at the upper side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 3 at the upper side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw the connecting lines between intersections of circles 3 and 4, passing through the center of circle 1, 60° apart (as shown). Extend these up to circle 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 six times to the intersections of circle 7 with lines 8 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
10. | ![]() | Draw connecting lines between intersections of circles 9 two apart (three times, as shown), and extend these until they meet to form an equilateral triangle pointing up. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct an equilateral triangle similar to triangle 10, but pointing down, using the three alternate connecting lines. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct an equilateral triangle, pointing up, similar to triangle 10, using connecting lines between corresponding intersections of circles 9 and circles 3 and 4, as shown. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct an equilateral triangle similar to triangle 12, but pointing down, using the alternate set of three connecting lines. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the left intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of circle 14 and the vertical centerline. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 six times to the centers of circles 9. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw the connecting lines between the outer intersections of circles 16, passing through the center of circle 1, 60° apart, as shown. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the upper right intersection of triangles 10 and 11. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the lower intersection of circle 18 and the vertical centerline. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 six times to the intersections of circle 19 and lines 17. | |||
21. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the two intersections of circle 6 and lines 17 to the right. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct a circle with the center at the intersection of line 21 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the near side. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 to the center of circle 1. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at the far side. | |||
25. | ![]() | Construct two inscribed equilateral triangles of circle 24, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
26. | ![]() | Construct three pairs of lines at a short mutual distance (distance not constructed), parallel and symmetrical to lines 17, from angular points of triangle 12 to the opposite angular points of triangle 13, as shown. | |||
27. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 15, 16, 20 and 23, triangles 10, 11, 12, 13 and 25, and lines 26 form the ingredients for the reconstruction. | |||
28. | ![]() | Removing all parts not visible in the formation, and... High resolution dwf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...colouring green all areas corresponding to standing,... High resolution dwf-file | |||
30. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop finishes the reconstruction of the 2003 Milk Hill formation. High resolution dwf-file | |||
