Abstract: A leveling system for identifying high and low areas of a surface relative to a reference plane to within a desired tolerance. A light source emits light in a level plane at a height above the reference plane. Several depth-indicator targets rest on the surface to be measured in an upright manner and are struck by the light in the level plane. Each of the depth-indicator targets indicates, based on color, whether the surface at that surface location is high, low, or level based on the location at which the light strikes the depth-indicator target. The color emitted by the target can be from a fluorescing layer of the target or light signals on the target controlled by a light-detecting receiver. A user can then quickly identify problem areas of the surface that need to be adjusted (e.g., raised or lowered).
