Reconstruction of the Mount Pleasant 25-07-2016 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. Number the angular points clockwise 1 - 12, starting at the top. | ||||
3. | Draw the line 2-12 (between angular points 2 nrs. 2 and 12). | ||||
4. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 3. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed dodecagon of circle 4, pointing up. Number the angular points clockwise 13 - 24, starting at the top. | ||||
6. | Draw six lines: 1-23 (between angular point 2 nr. 1 and angular point 5 nr. 23), 3-13, 5-15, 7-17, 9-19, and 11-21. | ||||
7. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 4, pointing to the right. | ||||
8. | Draw a line from angular point 13 to the intersection of line 1-23 and the upper lefthand side of hexagon 7. Repeat this five times, for the angular points 15, 17, 19, 21, and 23, to the other corresponding intersections, as shown. | ||||
9. | Draw six lines: 2-23, 4-13, 6-15, 8-17, 10-19, and 12-21. | ||||
10. | Draw six lines: 2-18, 4-20, 6-22, 8-24, 10-14, and 12-16. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the leftmost line 8 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the intersection of lines 11-21 and 6-22. See detail. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 11 two times, to angular points 4 and 13. | ||||
13. | Construct a line parallel to line 4-13, tangent to circles 12 at the lower lefthand sides. Extend this line up to the closest line 8. See detail. | ||||
14. | Repeat steps 12 and 13 five times, for the other corresponding pairs of angular points, as shown. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 11 two times, to angular points 2 and 18. | ||||
16. | Construct a line parallel to line 2-18, tangent to circles 15 at the lefthand sides. | ||||
17. | Repeat steps 15 and 16 five times, for the other corresponding pairs of angular points, as shown. | ||||
18. | Circle 1, and lines 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 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 Mount Pleasant formation of 25-07-2016. pdf-file | ||||
