1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. | ||||
3. | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through its upper righthand angular point. | ||||
4. | Copy circle 3 to the upper lefthand angular point of triangle 2. | ||||
5. | Copy circle 3 to the upper righthand angular point of triangle 2. | ||||
6. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing down. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, passing through the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 6 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 5. | ||||
9. | Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 3. | ||||
10. | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper intersections of circles 3 and 9 with the vertical centerline. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 to the intersection of the upper side of triangle 2 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
12. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 11 at the lefthand side. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 12 two times, to the centers of circles 3 and 5. | ||||
14. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 11 at the righthand side. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 14 two times, to the centers of circles 3 and 5. | ||||
16. | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 4. | ||||
17. | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circles 4 and 5, tangent to circle 16 at the upper side. | ||||
18. | Copy circle 17 two times, to the lower intersections of circle 3 with circles 4 and 5. | ||||
19. | Construct a circle passing through the inner intersections of circles 14 and 15, as shown. | ||||
20. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 19, pointing up. | ||||
21. | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 20. | ||||
22. | Copy circle 21 to the center of circle 5. | ||||
23. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 22 at the righthand side. | ||||
24. | Copy circle 23 two times, to the centers of circles 3 and 5. | ||||
25. | Circles 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 23 and 24 are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
28. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
29. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
30. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Hannington formation of 7-05-2011. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
