1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Draw the 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315° rays (with respect to the righthand half of the horizontal centerline) of circle 1, as shown. | ||||
4. | Construct the inscribed square of square 2, with the angular points on rays 3. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed square of square 4, pointing up. | ||||
6. | Construct the inscribed square of square 5, with the angular points on rays 3. | ||||
7. | Construct the inscribed square of square 6, pointing up. | ||||
8. | Construct the inscribed circle of square 7. | ||||
9. | Copy circle 8 four times, to the angular points of square 2. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand angular point of square 5, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 four times, to the centers of circles 9. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 10 to the intersection of circle 1 and the upper righthand ray 3. | ||||
13. | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of the righthand circle 9 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 12 at the lower side. | ||||
14. | Copy circle 13 three times, to the corresponding intersections of the other circles 9 and the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
15. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the lower lefthand side. | ||||
16. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to the righthand circle 11 at the righthand side. | ||||
17. | Copy circle 16 four times, to the intersections of circle 15 and rays 3. | ||||
18. | Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of the upper righthand circle 17 and the upper righthand angular point of square 4. See detail. | ||||
19. | Copy circle 18 four times, to the angular points of square 4. See detail. | ||||
20. | Construct two pairs of parallel lines, parallel to rays 3, tangent to circles 19 at both sides. See detail. | ||||
21. | Copy circle 18 four times, to the intersections of circle 1 and the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
22. | Construct two pairs of parallel lines, parallel to the horizontal and vertical centerlines, tangent to circles 21 at both sides. See detail. | ||||
23. | Circles 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17, and lines 20, and 22, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
24. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
25. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
26. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Buckland Down formation of 26-05-2018. pdf-file | ||||
