There is no way the convention center floor is off the 2-4 inches in
the twenty foot dimensions of our layout. 1/8 to a 1/4 inch maybe. So
I hope this is a big help for that.

Most of our modules are pretty good now. The only problem I've see
with the newest batch is some dishing in the center. This can be
solved with some cross bracing under the module, like I've done with
mine.
Using the laser level will make it take longer to setup the first time
for sure. But I think it will solve a lot of problems. Once
everything is adjusted if we mark which pieces go where and assemble
the layout the same way the next time it should go together much
quicker.
