Reconstruction of the Chute Causeway 10-08-2013 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the two upper rays of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the triangle formed by the two rays 3 and the upper side of hexagon 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to its upper intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw two lines from the center of circle 1 to the intersections of circles 4 and 5, and extend these lines upto the upper side of hexagon 2. Call the righthand intersection with this side point A and the lefthand one point B. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through A. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing up. | |||
9. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from A to the lower lefthand, and from B to the lower righthand angular points of hexagon 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of lines 9. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the upper righthand side of hexagon 8 and line 9, tangent to the upper side of hexagon 2. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the intersection of lines 9. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the leftmost intersections of circle 7 and the lefthand sides of hexagon 2. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 13 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the near side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 12. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Remove all redundant parts from lines 6 and 9, and from circles 10, 12 and 16, such that the shown pattern remains. | |||
![]() | |||||
18. | ![]() | Copy this pattern (repeat all necessary steps) five times, from the top of hexagon 8 to the other angular points, while rotating around the center. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circle 1, and patterns 17 and 18, together make up the final reconstruction. High resolution dwf-file | |||
20. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Chute Causeway formation of 10-08-2013. High resolution dwf-file | |||
