Reconstruction of the Etchilhampton Hill 15-08-2006 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 four times, to the intersections of circle 1 and the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of righthand circle 2 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection. | |||
4. | ![]() | Repeat step 3 eight more times, to create (together with righthand circle 2 and circle 3) ten tangent circles on a row, as shown. | |||
5. | ![]() | Repeat steps 3 and 4 three more times, relative to the other three circles 2, and in the other three directions, horizontally and vertically. This will yield twenty tangent circles on a row, horizontally as well as vertically, as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the tangent point of the fourth and fifth circles 4. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw ten lines, the first from the upper intersection of the first of circles 2 and 5 vertically (up) and the vertical centerline to the righthand intersection of the last circles 2 and 4 (horizontally) and the horizontal centerline, the second from the corresponding intersections of the second of circles 2 and 5 to the second last circles 2 and 4, and so on, as shown. | |||
8. | ![]() | Repeat step 7 three times, for the other three quadrants, as shown. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the first and last lines 7, tangent to the horizontal centerline. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 three times, to the corresponding intersections in the other three quadrants. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered on the horizontal centerline, passing through the center of the rightmost circle 4, and through its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
12. | ![]() | Repeat step 11 three times, for the three other corresponding circles on the horizontal and vertical centerlines, as shown. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 three times, to the intersections of the first and second, second and third, and third and fourth lines 7. | |||
14. | ![]() | Repeat step 13 for the last four lines 7, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Draw three lines, tangent to circle 11 and successive circles 13, all at the upper sides, as shown. | |||
16. | ![]() | Repeat step 15, for upper circle 12 and successive circles 14, all at the righthand sides. | |||
17. | ![]() | Repeat steps 13 and 14 three times, for the other three quadrants. | |||
18. | ![]() | Repeat steps 15 and 16 three times, for the other three quadrants. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circles 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12, lines 7, 8, 15, 16 and 18, and the horizontal and vertical centerlines make up all the required elements for the reconstruction. | |||
20. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, which will finish the reconstruction of the Etchilhampton Hill formation of 15-08-2006. High resolution dwf-file | |||
