A system for determining an optimal clocking orientation of an object at which to attach mating structure to the object includes a plurality of radiation devices mounted on an object, a plurality of transceivers configured to emit radiation toward the object, and a processor. The object potentially has a first as-built object configuration that differs from an as-designed object configuration. The transceivers continuously generate distance measurements between the transceivers and the radiation devices during rotation of the object. The processor continuously determines, based on the distance measurements, additional unique as-built object configurations corresponding to changing clocking orientations of the object during rotation. In addition, the processor continuously compares the first and the additional as-built object configurations to the as-designed object configuration and, after completion of the rotation of the object through at least a portion of one revolution, determines an optimal clocking orientation at which the as-built object configuration has the smallest deviation from the as-designed object configuration.
