Reconstruction of the Westbury White Horse 4-08-2016 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. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the top of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lower angular point of hexagon 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 2 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of hexagon 2, tangent to circle 6 at the upper righthand side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the lower righthand angular point of hexagon 2. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the lefthand intersection of circles 7 and 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, passing through the lower righthand intersection of circles 4 and 7. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 4. | |||
12. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the lower intersection of circle 10 and the vertical centerline. Divide this line into nine equal parts. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct eight circles concentric to circle 3, passing through the division nodes 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circles 13 to the center of circle 4. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the top of hexagon 2. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle enclosed by and tangent to circles 8, 9, and 15. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circle 16 to the top of hexagon 2. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 17 at the upper side. | |||
19. | ![]() | Create the shown pattern, by removing all parts not visible within the formation itself from circles 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 14. | |||
![]() | |||||
20. | ![]() | Copy pattern 19 five times (by repeating all necessary steps), while rotating around the center of circle 1, each 60° apart, as shown. | |||
21. | ![]() | Circles 6, 9, and 18, and patterns 19, and 20, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
23. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Westbury White Horse formation of 4-08-2016. pdf-file | |||
