A movable accessory for a layout and point transfer system, the accessory comprising: a target screen having a surface that is at least partially reflective to emissions from an electronic distance measuring instrument, said surface having a longitudinal axis extending along the surface; a laser light receiver comprising a processing circuit, a memory circuit (52, 54) including instructions executable by said processing circuit, a communications circuit, an input/output interface circuit, and at least one photosensor configured to detect a wavelength emitted by a laser light transmitter, said at least one photosensor extending in a direction non-parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a plurality of photoemitters configured to be controlled by at least one output signal generated by said input/output interface circuit, at least two of the individual photoemitters of said plurality being mounted at different positions along a direction non-parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a tilt angle sensor configured to determine a roll angle (θ) of said longitudinal axis with respect to a vertical direction, and to generate an output signal that is directed to said input/output interface circuit; wherein said processing circuit is configured to: monitor a position of where a vertical plane of laser light strikes said at least one photosensor of the laser light receiver; compensate for a value of said roll angle that is not zero degrees, by determining a corrected position as to which of said plurality of photoemitters should be illuminated to provide a roll angle-compensated visual indication; and provide said roll angle-compensated visual indication using said plurality of photoemitters to indicate a position of where said laser light receiver has received the vertical plane of laser light. a target screen having a surface that is at least partially reflective to emissions from an electronic distance measuring instrument, said surface having a longitudinal axis extending along the surface; a laser light receiver comprising a processing circuit, a memory circuit (52, 54) including instructions executable by said processing circuit, a communications circuit, an input/output interface circuit, and at least one photosensor configured to detect a wavelength emitted by a laser light transmitter, said at least one photosensor extending in a direction non-parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a plurality of photoemitters configured to be controlled by at least one output signal generated by said input/output interface circuit, at least two of the individual photoemitters of said plurality being mounted at different positions along a direction non-parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a tilt angle sensor configured to determine a roll angle (θ) of said longitudinal axis with respect to a vertical direction, and to generate an output signal that is directed to said input/output interface circuit; wherein said processing circuit is configured to: monitor a position of where a vertical plane of laser light strikes said at least one photosensor of the laser light receiver; compensate for a value of said roll angle that is not zero degrees, by determining a corrected position as to which of said plurality of photoemitters should be illuminated to provide a roll angle-compensated visual indication; and provide said roll angle-compensated visual indication using said plurality of photoemitters to indicate a position of where said laser light receiver has received the vertical plane of laser light. monitor a position of where a vertical plane of laser light strikes said at least one photosensor of the laser light receiver; compensate for a value of said roll angle that is not zero degrees, by determining a corrected position as to which of said plurality of photoemitters should be illuminated to provide a roll angle-compensated visual indication; and provide said roll angle-compensated visual indication using said plurality of photoemitters to indicate a position of where said laser light receiver has received the vertical plane of laser light.
