Reconstruction of the Hambledon Hill 30-04-2014 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | ||||
4. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 2 and the upper righthand side of hexagon 3, tangent to circle 1 at the near side. | ||||
5. | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline), between the center of circle 4 and its tangent-point with circle 1. | ||||
6. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 5. | ||||
7. | Copy circle 4 to the center of circle 1, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | ||||
8. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 7 at the righthand side. | ||||
9. | Draw three rays of circle 1, from its center to the top and the lower lefthand and righthand angular points of hexagon 2. | ||||
10. | Copy circle 4 to the intersection of circle 8 and the upper ray 9, and move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | ||||
11. | Repeat step 10 two times, with respect to the corresponding intersections of circle 8 and the other two rays 9. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
13. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 12 and the two lower rays 9. | ||||
14. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 1 and the intersection of line 13 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 14 seven times, to the center of circle 1, and to the angular points of hexagon 2. See detail. | ||||
16. | Construct six pairs of parallel lines, each pair tangent to the central circle 15, and tangent to each one of the other circles 15, all at both sides. See detail. | ||||
17. | Circles 1, 6, 8, 10 and 11, and lines 16, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
18. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
19. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
20. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Hambledon Hill formation of 30-04-2014. pdf-file | ||||
