Reconstruction of the Oliver's Castle 15-04-2007 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) with the points at the lefthand intersections of circles 1 and 3 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the lefthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline, as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the lower side of pentagon 2 and the vertical centerline, passing through the lower righthand angular point of this pentagon. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 1. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a two-points circle through the lefthand intersection of circle 7 and the righthand intersection of circle 5, both with the horizontal centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the lefthand intersection of circle 9 and the horizontal centerline and move it to its own corresponding intersection. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the lefthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline and move it to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the lefthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the center of circle 1 and move it to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the righthand intersection of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline and move it to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of circle 8, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of circle 12, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
17. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of circle 10, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lefthand intersection of circle 9, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 13, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 14, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 7, and move it to its own righthand intersection, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 7 at the lefthand side. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 six times, to the centers of circles 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. | |||
24. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 together make up all that is necessary for the final reconstruction. | |||
25. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
26. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop. This finishes the reconstruction of the 2007 Oliver's Castle formation. High resolution dwf-file | |||
