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 | |||
