Reconstruction of the Manton House 22-06-2007 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of dodecagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the end-points of a centerline), defined by the righthand intersections of circles 1 and 3 with the horizontal centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding intersection. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 5 at the righthand side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed six-pointed star of circle 1, by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one down. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the center of circle 1. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand mutual intersection of triangles 7, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 8 at the lefthand side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circles 9 and 10 each five times, to the other mutual intersections of triangles 7. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side, and tangent to both triangles 7 at the near sides, as shown. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1. | |||
14. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 13 are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
15. | ![]() | Remove all parts not present in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
16. | ![]() | Colour all areas with standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | ...or with flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Manton House formation of 22-06-2007. High resolution dwf-file | |||
