Reconstruction of the Waden Hill (2) 1-07-2009 formation (without the inner details) | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed heptagon (regular 7-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Draw the seven rays of heptagon 2, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points. Number these rays and/or the angular points 1 through 7 counterclockwise, beginning with the righthand one just above the horizontal centerline. | ||||
4. | Draw the connecting line between the angular points of heptagon 2 nrs. 4 and 7. | ||||
5. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 4. | ||||
6. | Copy circle 5 to the top of heptagon 2. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the lower side. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 5 seven times, to the intersections of circle 7 and rays 3. | ||||
9. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 5 and rays 3 nrs. 1 and 3. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 9. | ||||
11. | Construct the inscribed heptagon of circle 1, pointing down. | ||||
12. | Draw the seven rays of heptagon 11, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points. Number these rays 8 through 14 counterclockwise, beginning with the righthand one just above the horizontal centerline. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 10 to the intersection of the lower side of heptagon 2 and ray 12 nr. 13, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own intersection with this ray. | ||||
14. | Repeat step 13 six times, for the other rays 12 and sides of heptagon 2, as shown. | ||||
15. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 10 and rays 3 nrs. 4 and 7. | ||||
16. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 15. | ||||
17. | Draw a line from the center of circle 1, tangent to the lower lefthand circle 8 at the righthand side, and extend this line up to circle 1. | ||||
18. | Copy circle 16 to the intersection of the lower side of heptagon 2 and line 17. | ||||
19. | Draw a line from the center of circle 1, tangent to the lower righthand circle 8 at the lefthand side, and extend this line up to circle 1. | ||||
20. | Copy circle 16 to the intersection of the lower side of heptagon 2 and line 19. | ||||
21. | Copy circle 16 twelve more times, to the corresponding positions of circles 18 and 20, with respect to the other sides of heptagon 2, as shown. | ||||
22. | Construct the inscribed heptagon of circle 16, pointing up. | ||||
23. | Construct the inscribed circle of heptagon 22. | ||||
24. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the inner mutual intersections of circles 8 and 14. | ||||
25. | Construct the inscribed regular 28-sided polygon of circle 24, with one angular point coincident with the righthand intersection of circle 24 and line 4. | ||||
26. | Copy circle 23 twenty-eight times, to the angular points of polygon 25. | ||||
27. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 23 with ray 3 nr. 1 and ray 12 nr. 14. | ||||
28. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of ray 12 nr. 8 and line 27. | ||||
29. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 16 and rays 12 nrs. 8 and 11. | ||||
30. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 29. | ||||
31. | Copy circle 30 forty-two times, to the centers of circles 18, 20, 21 and 26. | ||||
32. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 16 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to this circle at the lefthand side. | ||||
33. | Copy circle 32 twenty-eight times, to the centers of circles 26. | ||||
34. | Circles 8, 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 26, 28, 31 and 33 are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
35. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
36. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
37. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Waden Hill (2) formation of 1-07-2009 (without the inner details). High resolution dwf-file | ||||
