Laser Measuring Tools etc
(OP)
Hello,
I am currently working on a project that requires a precise grid to be set on a vertical wall appx 10ft tall and 60ft long.
This wall is the exterior of a building and scaffolding prevents a survey to be done normal to the wall. I can only work along the walls 60ft length.
Do any tools exist that quickly and accurately measure distance horizontal and vertically? I have found some hand held laser range finders, but I find it impossible to set the laser in the horizontal and vertical positions. There are some auto-leveling lasers but they do not provide distance measurements.
Does anyone know of a similar tool or something that I can use to achieve this. Aside from the old hose water level.
Thanks in advance!

and be sure to clarify your definition of accurate when talking with surveyors since IRstuff points out what they might consider accurate.
