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 | |||
