Reconstruction of the Pepperbox Hill 23-07-2019 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 1 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 2 two times, the first to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline, the second to the corresponding intersection of the first. | |||
4. | ![]() | Copy circle 2 to the righthand intersection of the righthand circle 3 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 2 two more times, the first to the righthand intersection of circle 4 and the horizontal centerline, the second to the corresponding intersection of the first. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 4 at the righthand side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circles 5 at the righthand sides. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 4, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 8, tangent to circles 5 at the righthand sides. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 8, tangent to circle 4 at the righthand side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 8, passing through the centers of circles 3. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 12, tangent to circles 11 at the righthand sides. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to circle 10 at the righthand side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to the outer circle 9 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to the inner circle 9 at the righthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the righthand intersections of circles 8 and 16 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 17 to the righthand intersection of circle 14 and the horizontal centerline, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 18, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 18, tangent to circles 13 at the righthand sides. | |||
21. | ![]() | Remove all parts from circles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20, such that... | |||
22. | ![]() | ...this pattern remains. | |||
23. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6 (circle 1), passing through the center of circle 18. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 23, pointing to the right. | |||
25. | ![]() | Repeat all necessary steps to copy pattern 22 five times, with respect to the other angular points of hexagon 24, while rotating around its center, as shown. | |||
26. | ![]() | Circle 6, and patterns 22, and 25, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
27. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Pepperbox Hill formation of 23-07-2019. pdf-file | |||
