Reconstruction of the Ammersee (D) 18-07-2014 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 2. | ||||
4. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing down. | ||||
5. | Copy circle 3 to the lower angular point of triangle 4. | ||||
6. | Construct the inscribed regular 24-sided polygon of circle 3, pointing down. Number the angular points counterclockwise 1 - 24, starting with the lowest. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, passing through angular point 6 nr. 4. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 7 two times, to the lefthand and righthand angular points of triangle 4. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to the righthand circle 8 at the lower lefthand side. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, passing through angular point 6 nr. 3. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, passing through angular point 6 nr. 2. | ||||
12. | Copy circles 9, 10 and 11 two times, to the centers of circles 8. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 5 twentythree times, to angular points 6 nrs. 2 - 24. | ||||
14. | Construct the circumscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, with the midpoint of a side at the lower intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
15. | Construct the circumscribed circle of octagon 14. | ||||
16. | Circles 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
17. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
18. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
19. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Ammersee (D) formation of 18-07-2014. pdf-file | ||||
