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 | |||
