Patent ID: 8413343

Claim:
A plumb measuring method, comprising: determining an arbitrary length of a vertical construction comprising a glass panel in which plumb is being measured; extending a plumb measuring device responsive to the length; placing a positioning device integrated within the plumb measuring device against the vertical construction, wherein the plumb measuring device is disposed substantially vertically against the vertical construction; adjusting the positioning device at a first member until a level measuring device indicates level; and reading a measurement on a measuring device coupled to the positioning device to determine an amount of plumb associated with the vertical construction, wherein the reading provides the measurement without requiring additional calculations to determine the amount of plumb between the arbitrary length of the construction, wherein the arbitrary length comprises any two points selected on the construction and a line formed therebetween; and cutting a glass plate responsive to the measured plumb to within 1/32 nd of an inch to prevent open space upon installation of the glass panel due to the measured plumb.
