How to meassure only X y or Z/height, width or depth

Post by Hans1978 »

Hello

I'm a newbie at freecad.

I'd like to use the measurement tool - or similar - to measure only the height, width or depth of an object and show it on screen.

Just like what the measure tool does, but I would like it to only show measurement in 1 dimension - is this possible?
