Don't get too fancy on me. I happen to like and spend a lot of money on specialize tools for my business. Find a small stick (don't use a 2x4, its too heavy)that's a little over 12 feet long and make a mark on it. Butt the end of the stick ans transfer the mark on the ceiling and do the same from the other side. You are done in two minutes. In the trades, we call it a story pole. it is use for repeated measuring work. It is a lot more accurate then a tape. Save you some money by buying tools.
If you do not have a stick long enough, get two stick and screw them together and make em' long enough for the job.
