Formulas and Measurements

• Measure from the Apex to points on the horizontal line and label as shown Start the stretch-out by drawing a horizontal line equal to the distance from 8 to 8 on the Plan View From the slant heights set dividers from the Apex to the 8-4 Point and transfer to the stretch-out by using Point 8 as an Apex and swing arcs that will intersect to acquire Point 4.
• From the Plan View, set dividers from 1 to 2 and on the stretch-out set the dividers on Point 4 and swing an arc to each side Return to the slant heights and set the dividers from the Apex to the 8-3 Point and on the stretch-out, using Point 8 as an Apex swing intersecting arcs to form Points 3 on the stretch-out From the plan view, set dividers from 7 to 8 and swing arcs to the outside of both Points From the slant heights, set your dividers at the 7-3 Point and transfer this measurement to the stretch-out using Point 3 as an Apex.
• This arc will intersect to form Continue this formula to obtain all the points for the layout Connect points, laps and notches to obtain half the layout

Procedure

1. Step 1

   Draw a plan view of the fining

2. Step 2

   Trisect and label the small circle as shown

3. Step 3

   Trisect and label the bottom Y. circles of the oval

4. Step 4

   Draw a 90 degree angle and take the measurements for the slant heights. These measurements are taken from 5 to 1, 1 to 6, 6 to 2, 2 to 7, 7 to 3, 3 to 8 and 8 to 4. Place all these measurements on the horizontal line. Measure from the Apex to points on the horizontal line and label as shown

5. Step 5

   Start the stretch-out by drawing a horizontal line equal to the distance from 8 to 8 on the Plan View

6. Step 6

   From the slant heights set dividers from the Apex to the 8-4 Point and transfer to the stretch-out by using Point 8 as an Apex and swing arcs that will intersect to acquire Point 4.

7. Step 7

   From the Plan View, set dividers from 1 to 2 and on the stretch-out set the dividers on Point 4 and swing an arc to each side

8. Step 8

   Return to the slant heights and set the dividers from the Apex to the 8-3 Point and on the stretch-out, using Point 8 as an Apex swing intersecting arcs to form Points 3 on the stretch-out

9. Step 9

   From the plan view, set dividers from 7 to 8 and swing arcs to the outside of both Points

10. Step 10

    From the slant heights, set your dividers at the 7-3 Point and transfer this measurement to the stretch-out using Point 3 as an Apex. This arc will intersect to form

11. Step 11

    Continue this formula to obtain all the points for the layout

12. Step 12

    Connect points, laps and notches to obtain half the layout
