Reconstruction of the All Cannings Bridge 6-05-2009 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct three more inscribed equilateral triangles of circle 1, pointing to the left, down and to the right, respectively. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top of triangle 2, passing through the adjacent angular points of triangles 3. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 eleven times, to the other angular points of triangles 2 and 3. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the innermost mutual intersections of circles 4 and 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 2 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 8 at the lefthand side. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the end-points of a centerline), between the center of circle 6 and its upper intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
11. | ![]() | (In this and following steps, some results of previous steps are removed temporarily for clarity). Copy circle 10 to the intersection of circle 4 and the righthand side of triangle 2, and move it (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding (lower righthand) intersection. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 11. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 12, with one angular point coincident with the center of circle 11. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 eleven times, to the other angular points of dodecagon 13. | |||
15. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the centers of circles 1 and 11, and extend it up to circle 9. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 to the upper righthand intersection of circle 11 and line 15, and move it to its own lower lefthand intersection with line 15. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 16. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 17, with one angular point coincident with the center of circle 16. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 18. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the lower lefthand side. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 20, pointing up. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 21. | |||
23. | ![]() | Circles 1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19 and 22 are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
24. | ![]() | Remove all unnecessary parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
25. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
26. | ![]() | ...or to flattened plants, and finish the reconstruction of the All Cannings Bridge formation of 6-05-2009. High resolution dwf-file | |||
