I'll usually do that -after- the wheel is true.

I've had much better luck viewing the spokes in groups of four. With all the
spokes
very loose, choose two opposite groups, and set the hop and wobble at these two
points.
Then pick a third group on one side, draw the wobble in there, then another
group opposite
that one, then spin the rest of the nipples down to the rim and go around
turning them each
a quarter turn, go around twice just to get a bit of tension going.
Then hang the dial indicators and work the high spots down.
