 * 5) Select the second dimension point anywhere on an object in the 3D view.
 * 6) The selection order of the points can have an impact on the position of the dimension line.
 * 7) Optionally flip the position of the dimension line by changing the  property of the distance object.

Data

 * : by default the label contains the measured distance, but this distance is not updated when P1 or P2 are later changed.


 * : the first dimension point.
 * : the second dimension point.
 * : (read-only) the measured distance between P1 and P2.

View

 * : this factor, multiplied by the measured distance, determines the dimension line offset.
 * : the height of the letters (line height in pixels).
 * : if set to the position of the dimension line relative to P1 and P2 is flipped.
