Reconstruction of the Fonthill Down 27-06-2011 formation | |||||
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. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
4. | ![]() | Divide the horizontal centerline of circle 1 into five equal parts. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the leftmost division node 4, tangent to the lefthand side of hexagon 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection, and passing through the lefthand intersection of circle 5 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing to the right. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to both lefthand sides of hexagon 3. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 five times, to the centers of circles 9. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the lower intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 13 at the lower side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the righthand intersection of the leftmost two circles 9. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the lower intersection of circle 14 and the vertical centerline, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own lefthand intersection with circle 14. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 16 and its righthand intersection with circle 14. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 17 to the center of circle 16. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circles 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 16 and 18, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
20. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Fonthill Down formation of 27-06-2011. High resolution dwf-file | |||
23. | ![]() Courtesy the Crop Circle Connector | The final result, matched with the aerial image. | |||
