Reconstruction of the Andechs Abbey (Germany) 29-07-2012 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. Number the angular points clockwise, from the top, 1 - 12. | ||||
3. | Draw the diagonals of dodecagon 2 from every angular point to every fifth angular point. | ||||
4. | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between angular points 1 and 2. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 4, with one angular point coincident with an angular point of dodecagon 2. | ||||
6. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the outer angular points of hexagon 5. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle passing through the set of innermost intersections of diagonals 3. | ||||
8. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing up. | ||||
9. | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 8. | ||||
10. | Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the intersection of diagonals (between angular points) 2-7 and 3-10. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 10 and diagonal 5-12, tangent to circle 9 at the near side. See detail. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 11 two times, to angular points nrs. 5 and 12 of dodecagon 2. | ||||
13. | Construct a line parallel to diagonal 5-12, tangent to circles 12 at the lower lefthand sides. | ||||
14. | Repeat step 13 eleven times, with respect to the other eleven diagonals 3. | ||||
15. | Draw diagonal 1-9. | ||||
16. | Draw the eleven other corresponding diagonals. | ||||
17. | Draw diagonal 1-10. | ||||
18. | Draw the eleven other corresponding diagonals. | ||||
19. | Draw a line from angular point nr. 1 to the intersection of diagonals 2-7 and 4-11. | ||||
20. | Draw a line from angular point nr. 1 to the intersection of diagonals 2-7 and 3-11. | ||||
21. | Repeat steps 19 and 20 eleven times, with respect to the other eleven angular points of dodecagon 2. | ||||
22. | Circles 1 and 6, and lines 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
23. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
24. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
25. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Andechs Abbey formation of 29-07-2012. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
