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 ?

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
