1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed decagon (regular 10-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of decagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing up. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the upper intersection of triangles 4 and 5. Extend this line upto circle 3. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the top of triangle 4 and the intersection of circle 3 and line 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw a line between the centers of circles 1 and 7. Extend this line upto circle 3. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed regular 24-sided polygon of circle 3, with one angular point coincident with the intersection of line 8 and circle 3. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline, passing through the second angular point of polygon 9, to the right from the top of triangle 4, as shown. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 1. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the larger circle, passing through the upper intersection of circle 11 and the vertical centerline, tangent to the lefthand and to the righthand sides of triangle 4, as shown. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw twenty-four rays, from the center of circle 12 to the angular points of polygon 9. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the upper side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 14 to the upper intersection of circle 11 and the vertical centerline. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 11, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to circle 15 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 14 and the vertical centerline, tangent to its upper side. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 12. | |||
20. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 11, 12 16, 17, and 19, and lines 13, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
21. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
23. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Oxleaze Copse formation of 21-05-2017. pdf-file | |||
