3:08 how do you measure that distance of the vertical line? That confuses me Greetings from Bosnia-Herzegovina I am going to Granada so hope to see it in person 😍

[@samiramian]

each vertical line goes through the central circle at two points 😁enjoy Granada!

[@samiramian]

شكرا جزيلا 😊

[@يونسيونس-م2ل]

ممتاز

[@dusk3315]

This is amazing. Thanks. But, if we were to half all the measurements of the whole pattern for example, if it's 10 cm we change it to 5 cm, will the geometric pattern still work out the same but at a different scale?

[@samiramian]

yes all you have to do is set the first radius and then everything else follows at that scale. So a 5cm radius and then draw very carefully! Enjoy!

[@mohammedshahidrahman8276]

Excellent video. I can draw by seeing it but how do I remember the steps?

[@samiramian]

Thank you! there's no secret to Leaning, you just practise, lots!

[@Winterfeld69]

wonderful. How can you remember every step?

[@samiramian]

lots of pausing between steps in this case, to look a the instructions in the M M Vela book *see the caption*

[@maryhinkley1237]

confusing but awesome

[@samiramian]

thanks! Give it a try... step by step it may be less confusing!

[@AjRapidEx]

Thank you for this tutorial. Can you kindly make a tutorial for a 12 petal rosette surrounded by several 8 petal rosettes.

[@samiramian]

You're welcome. I havent really drawn too many 12 & 8fold patterns. You may find tutorials and resources for this in the facebook groups I recommend on my website. Lots of resouces are shared by very talented, knowledgeable and generous geometers: www.samiramian.uk/books

[@s.m.m.qq.4832]

What formula u had apply?

[@samiramian]

no formula! Just a series of compass and ruler constructions.

This pattern is also used in Registan Samarkand Uzbekistan without centre four petal flower. I am sorry but your pattern is unproportional.

[@samiramian]

Yes this is similar to the Samarkand and also a mughal jaali pattern, but has different proportions.

[@tafseerrazaidrise4606]

@@samiramian could you please tell me the place, where this Mughal jali took place.
