Reconstruction of the Hackpen Hill 30-05-2011 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed regular 18-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the top and the next angular point to the right of polygon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the center of circle 1. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top of triangle 5, tangent to circle 4 at the upper side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the lower lefthand angular point of triangle 5. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the lower righthand angular point of triangle 5. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the righthand intersection of circles 1 and 6 (call this point "A"). Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own upper lefthand intersection with circle 1. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the upper intersection of circles 1 and 7 (call this point "B"). Move this circle to its own lower intersection with circle 1. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper lefthand intersection of circles 1 and 9, passing through point A. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circles 1 and 10, passing through point B. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lefthand intersections of circles 9 and 11 with circle 1. | |||
14. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the centers of circles 1 and 13, and extend this line up to the opposite side of circle 13. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 1 and line 14, passing through point A. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to point B, and move this circle to its own lower intersection with circle 1. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circles 1 and 11, passing through point A. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circles 1 and 12, passing through point B. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the intersection of circle 17 and the righthand side of triangle 5. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 to the center of circle 8. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 17 and the righthand side of triangle 5, tangent to circle 6 at the near side. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circle 21 to point A. | |||
23. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 11, tangent to circle 22 at the lefthand side. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 22 at the lefthand side. | |||
25. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 17, tangent to circle 22 at the lefthand side. | |||
26. | ![]() | Circles 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 25, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
27. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Hackpen Hill formation of 30-05-2011. High resolution dwf-file | |||
