Surveying and leveling is a measurement process that determines the height of the level and the distance of an area with another elevated surface.

The principle of levelling is to obtain a horizontal line of sight at which the vertical distance of a point above or below this line of sight is found.

The main purpose of balancing in the survey is: Find the heights of the given points in relation to the given data.
