Reconstruction of the Gerlingerstraße (Germany) 12-06-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct two inscribed equilateral triangles of circle 1, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the mutual intersections of triangles 3. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of hexagon 2, tangent to circle 4 at the lower side. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 5 and its intersection (tangent point) with circle 4. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 1. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 8 at the upper side. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 8, pointing up. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to circle 9 at the lower side. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 9. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 five more times, to the centers of circles 6. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 again five more times, to the centers of circles 11. | |||
16. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circles 5 and 9. | |||
17. | ![]() | For clarity reasons, some of the results of previous steps are temporarily removed. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 16. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 17, pointing down. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circles 5 and 12 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 18. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle, between the center of circle 1 and the upper intersection of circle 13 and the vertical centerline. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 20 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
22. | ![]() | Circles 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, and 21, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
23. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
23. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
25. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Gerlingerstraße (Germany) formation of 12-06-2016. pdf-file | |||
