==Usage== <!--T:3-->

<!--T:10-->
# Select a View or a collection of Edges in a View.
# Press the {{Button|[[Image:TechDraw_VerticalExtentDimension.svg|16px]] [[TechDraw_VerticalExtentDimension|Insert Vertical Extent Dimension]]}} button
# A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
