Reconstruction of the Yarnbury Castle 24-06-2018 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the uppermost righthand intersection of hexagons 2 and 3, tangent to circle 1 at the near side. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 4 at the lower side. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 5, pointing up. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw six rays of circle 1, to the angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of hexagons 2 and 3. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the intersections of the upper righthand ray 7 with hexagon 3 and circle 8. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 to the center of circle 1. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a line, parallel to the upper righthand ray 7, tangent to circles 9 and 10 at the upper lefthand sides. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle inside hexagon 6, tangent to its upper sides, and tangent to line 11. | |||
13. | ![]() | Repeat step 12 (and all necessary previous steps) five times, with respect to the other angular points of hexagon 6, as shown. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of the two righthand circles 13, tangent to circle 12 at the near side. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 14 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 six times, to the centers of circles 15. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct 3 pairs of parallel lines, parallel to rays 7, tangent to circles 16 at both sides. | |||
18. | ![]() | Circles 12, 13, and 15, hexagon 6, and lines 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 Yarnbury Castle formation of 24-06-2018. pdf-file | |||
