Reconstruction of the Chilcomb Down 21-06-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 2 at the righthand side. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing to the right. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle, passing through the lower two angular points of hexagon 4, and tangent to the lower side of triangle 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 8, pointing down. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 9. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 6. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 11, pointing down. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 4. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle of circle 14, pointing down. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 to the lower angular point of triangle 15. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Circles 1, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 17, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
19. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
20. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Chilcomb Down formation of 21-06-2016. pdf-file | |||
