3. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 2 and 5. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 3 and 16. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at angular point nr. 1, passing through the intersection of lines 3 and 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 5 and its lefthand intersection with circle 1. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the midpoint of line 7, and extend this line upto (the other side of) circle 5. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a line from the intersection of circle 1 and line 8, perpendicular to this line and extending to its intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 9 and the vertical centerline. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of lines 3 and 4, tangent to circle 10 at the upper righthand side. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the center of circle 1. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from the upper intersection of circle 6 and the vertical centerline to angular points nrs. 2 and 16. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy lines 13 seven times, from the other corresponding points at circle 6 to the other corresponding even numbered angular points, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 3. | |||
16. | ![]() | Draw eight rays of polygon 2, from the center to the even numbered angular points. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular point nr. 2 and the intersection of circle 15 and ray 16 nr. 14. | |||
18. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular point nr. 16 and the intersection of circle 15 and ray 16 nr. 4. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy lines 17 and 18 seven times, to the other corresponding angular points and intersections, as shown. | |||
20. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from the intersection of lines 17 and 18 to the intersections of circle 12 with rays 16 nrs. 2 and 16. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy lines 20 seven times, between the other corresponding intersections, as shown. | |||
22. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular points nrs. 2 and 15. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy lines 4 and 22 seven times, between the other corresponding angular points, as shown. | |||
24. | ![]() | Circle 10, and lines 4, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
25. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
26. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Rodfield Lane formation of 21-06-2021. pdf-file | |||
