Reconstruction of the Oliver's Castle 24-04-2017 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed regular 27-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing down. Number the angular points clockwise 1 - 27, starting from the top. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw ray nr. 6 of polygon 2 (from the center to angular point nr. 6). | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw ray nr. 7 of polygon 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a line from the intersection of line 3 and circle 1, perpendicular to the horizontal centerline. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of lines 4 and 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a line from the intersection of line 3 and circle 6, perpendicular to the horizontal centerline. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of lines 4 and 7, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 8, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circles 8 and 9 twenty-six times, to the corresponding positions with respect to the other angular points of polygon 2, as shown. | |||
11. | ![]() | Circles 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
12. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
13. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
14. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Oliver's Castle formation of 24-04-2017. pdf-file | |||
