Abstract
The invention relates to both a method for determining the horizontal position of an object which is to be oriented toward a height reference plane in a highly precise manner; while using at least one rotating laser, as well as to the rotating laser itself. The rotating laser comprises a rotating unit, a laser source for emitting a laser radiation into a rotating, horizontal direction of emission, and means for affecting at least one radiation parameter of the laser radiation with an item of angle-dependent information from which the direction of emission can be derived so that the direction of emission is associated with the direction from the rotating laser toward the object that receives the laser radiation.
