Abstract
An apparatus and method for locating a midpoint between surfaces is disclosed herein. A laser distance measurer includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side surfaces intersecting the top and bottom surfaces, a first laser and a first sensor disposed along the first side surface, and a second laser and a second sensor disposed along the second side surface. The laser distance measurer includes a processor disposed in the housing configured to determine a first distance from the laser distance measurer to the first surface, determine a second distance from the laser distance measurer to the second surface, and indicate a position of the laser distance measurer relative to the midpoint between the first and second surfaces based on the first and second distances.
