The invention relates to a method and to a apparatus for aligning segments with one another, a first segment (40) and a second segment (50) being aligned with one another on positioning device (94). For this purpose, projection device (90), installed on the construction site, project projection lines (93) onto the segments from different directions so that distances between the projection lines (93) and reference points applied to the segments can be determined. In this manner, the position of the individual reference points on the segments can be determined with reference to a construction site coordinate system by an evaluation device (95). Based on the spatial arrangement of the reference points, theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines are then generated for each segment, which represent as effectively as possible the position of the reference points and are thereby a reference of the respective segment for alignment. The segments are levelled by moving the positioning device (94) or adjusting the shortest possible distance between the theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines to the projection lines (93). The segments are aligned by again moving the positioning device (94) so that the distances between the theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines of the first segment (40) and the theoretical best-fit planes and best-fit lines of the second segment (50) are minimised.
