Reconstruction of the Bishop Cannings 24-05-2009 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 to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Create a "Flower-of-life" pattern, by copying circle 1 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a second inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, the midpoint of one side coincident with the righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of dodecagon 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 six times, to the angular points of hexagon 4. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the upper intersection of rightmost circle 3 and upper lefthand circle 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the upper intersection of upper lefthand and upper righthand circles 7. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 to the rightmost angular point of hexagon 2. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the leftmost angular point of hexagon 2, tangent to circle 10 at the lefthand side. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 eleven times, to the other angular points of hexagon 2 and all angular points of hexagon 4. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 eleven times, to the other angular points of hexagon 2 and all angular points of hexagon 4. | |||
14. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are used in the final steps. | |||
15. | ![]() | Remove all redundant parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
16. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Bishop Cannings formation of 24-05-2009. High resolution dwf-file | |||
