14. Setting out

14.1. Steps of horizontal setting out

  1. setting out a straight line: with eyes, with a string, with a laser beam or with a theodolite
  2. setting out a distance: with tape or with EDM
  3. setting out angles (right or arbitrary): with approximate methods or with a total station (theodolite)
  4. setting out a vertical line (plumbing): with a plumb bob, with a vertical laser beam or with special instruments, like PZL
