Reconstruction of the Cake Wood 9-07-2022 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of hexagon 2 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | |||
4. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the center of circle 1. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 4, pointing down. Extend its righthand side upwards upto hexagon 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of hexagon 2 and extended line 5, passing through the righthand intersection of triangle 5 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 6 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw a line parallel to extended line 5, from the righthand intersection of circle 4 and the horizontal centerline, upto line 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the intersection of lines 7 and 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Draw a line parallel to line 7, from the intersection of extended line 5 and circle 9, downto the horizontal centerline. | |||
11. | ![]() | Extend the lefthand side of triangle 5 downwards downto hexagon 2. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle tangent to line 11, tangent to the righthand side of triangle 5, and tangent to the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 12, pointing down. Extend its righthand side upwards upto line 10. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the intersection of extended line 13 and line 10. | |||
15. | ![]() | Draw a line parallel to line 7, from the intersection of line 8 and circle 14, downto the horizontal centerline. | |||
16. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the righthand intersection of triangle 5 and the intersection of line 7, both with the horizontal centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Remove from extended line 5, lines 7, and 8, extended line 13, and lines 15, and 16, all redundant parts... | |||
18. | ![]() | ...such that this pattern remains. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy pattern 18 four times, while rotating around the center of circle 1, with respect to the other angular points of hexagon 2, except the lower one, as shown. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy the upper lefthand pattern 19 as a whole, from its lower righthand angular point, to the intersection of line 11 and hexagon 2, as shown. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
22. | ![]() | Patterns 18, 19, and 20, and hexagon 21, together, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
23. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
24. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Cake Wood formation of 9-07-2022. pdf-file | |||
