Reconstruction of the Etchilhampton (2) 19-08-2015 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed regular 18-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the righthand angular points of polygon 2 just above and below the horizontal centerline. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the intersection of line 3 and the horizontal centerline. Divide this line into seven equal parts, and number the nodes from left to right 1 - 6. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 1. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 2. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 3. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 4. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 5. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through node 4 nr. 6. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 3 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
12. | ![]() | Draw the eighteen rays of polygon 2, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points. Number the rays clockwise 1 - 18, starting at the uppermost righthand angular point. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw two connecting lines, one between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 1 and circle 11 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 10, the other between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 1 and circle 10 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 11. | |||
14. | ![]() | Repeat step 13 eight times, with respect to pairs of rays 12 nrs. 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, 11 and 12, 13 and 14, 15 and 16, and 17 and 18. | |||
15. | ![]() | Draw two connecting lines, one between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 10 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 3 and circle 9, the other between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 9 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 3 and circle 10. | |||
16. | ![]() | Repeat step 15 seven times, with respect to pairs of rays 12 nrs. 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 8 and 9, 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15, and 16 and 17. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw two connecting lines, one between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 1 and circle 9 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 8, the other between the intersection of ray 12 nr. 1 and circle 8 and the intersection of ray 12 nr. 2 and circle 9. | |||
18. | ![]() | Repeat step 17 seven times, with respect to pairs of rays 12 nrs. 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, 11 and 12, 13 and 14, 15 and 16, and 17 and 18. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circles 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, and lines 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
20. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Etchilhampton (2) formation of 19-08-2015. pdf-file | |||
