Larry:
I'm just trying to get the angle accurate enough to model the room in Chief ?
We've been doing it by "guesstimating" from the wall lengths and photos etc. and wanted to make the process a little easier.
The concern I have about length is for when there is an angle in a very tight corner or area or ... and if the tool is too long to fit there ?

Lew,
Take a look at the Bosch protractor . . . pricey though but a nice kit all the same.
-
Tim:
Definitely pricey, and overkill for my needs, but my friend who
is a carpenter might be interested as he does moldings and miter
cuts etc.
Right now the Denali seems to be what I'm after.
Thanks.

Hi Lew
How much of an angle are you trying to measure?
Is this just walls a little out or 30 and 45 degree type walls?
-
Allen:
Any and all.
The last couple of remodeling jobs I have done had angled walls
So I'd like to have a tool I can keep in my kit back to measure them so that I can create the Chief model easier than we have in the past.

You just want a new toy then?
I know the feeling...lol..
-
Yep, I do like my toys, and the higher tech the better :)
Lew

Tim:
Yep, friend definitely likes that Bosch unit and is going to get one.
Thanks

take regular piece of paper 8 1/2 x 11 fold it to match the wall angle ( mark them on your plan and # them if there is alot of angles in the space )then when you get home use a simple protractor :)

Woody:
simple and inexpensive, but I do like my tech toys :)
I heard that NASA spent Millions developing a pen that would work in space in the absence of gravity.
The Russians went low tech and used a pencil :eek:

Lew. Roofing companies who do re-roofs use a tool that measures pitch on a roof. You lay it on the actual roof and it measurs the roof in "degrees" I believe. Try Home depot

or Try geometry Google to find the equation using distances
-
Greg:
I have one of those and it works fine for roof pitch but it doesn't go into wall angles, the base needs to be moveable to fit the the wall angle.

Try geometry Google to find the equation using distances
too slow, too much math
I understand the math, just prefer not to do it.
