5. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between both intersections of circles 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with one angular point on line 5 (thus, with sides horizontal and vertical). | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of square 6, tangent to the upper side of triangle 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 three times, to the other angular points of square 6. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of triangle 7. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the intersections of the righthand side of square 6 with the lower side of triangle 2 and the lower righthand circle 9. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at both sides. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the righthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 two times, to the intersections of circle 15 and the vertical centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of the lower circles 9 with the lefthand and righthand sides of square 6. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 17. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 two times, to the centers of circles 16. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 two times, to the centers of circles 16. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle of circle 18, pointing up. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of triangle 21. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 22 two times, to the intersections of circle 15 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
24. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the center of the righthand circle 23. | |||
25. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 24 at the righthand side. | |||
26. | ![]() | Circles 3, 8, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 20, 23 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 Water Eaton Copse formation of 12-05-2012. High resolution dwf-file | |||
