ABSTRACT:
A three dimension optical transit target for use in optical tooling, when a construction site of interest is not within view of optical transits, comprises a rod having a target head on one end and an engagement area on another end for contact with the construction site. The target head includes at least one target, preferably defined by cross-hairs, located on a line passing through a rotational axis of the rod and the construction site of interest when the three dimension target is in use. When the three dimension target is supported such that the cross-hairs are visible from a sufficient number of optical transits, the location of the construction site in relation to the transits may be determined if the distance between the cross-hairs and the construction site is known. Several embodiments are described; in one a single set of cross-hairs is used in a target head which, in use, is supported with the cross-hairs positioned on a vertical line passing through the site. In another, two sets of cross-hairs are provided in the target head. In this embodiment, the rod need not be supported vertically above the site. In third and fourth embodiments, alternatives to cross-hairs are described.
