Abstract

A method and apparatus are presented for a laser tool used for direct indication of a level surface. This embodiment may also be used to transfer a level elevation from one level surface to a neighboring surface. The device may also be used to indicate the degree of flatness of a surface by direct observation. An alternative embodiment can provide a direct indication of plumb surfaces.
