Hi Rudl,

The length of the current segment being drawn is displayed already in the distance control in the bottom toolbar here:

An abstract plane is defined by a point and a normal direction - meanwhile "width" and "height" only make sense when there are specific x and y axis directions set up, and there are infinitely many different x and y axis directions that live in any one single plane.

The problem is more about what if the x and y axis directions that happen to be used are not in the right directions for the kind of measurement that you want.
