Hi, something I would find helpful in this context, is to be able to draw a ruler at the z-position. Currently it is possibly using h (horizontal) and v (vertical) to draw rulers at certain x and y positions. It would be nice if another key (perhaps 'O' for orthogonal) would place a ruler where the z-plane happens to be. Obviously you won't see that in the window where it is placed, but it would be helpful in the other widows - I often look at 3Ds in two windows which are orthogonal to one another so as to work out the 3D shape of overlapping peaks.
