Re: 3D dimension lines plugin
@sjb007
Thank you for your feedback. About your first post, the problems are clear and I can reproduce them. I've added fixing them to the roadmap.

About your second post, here some considerations when drawing on the ceilings:

you need to have a room (i.e. a floor) on both the start and end points (I could remove this requirement in the next release).
both points and offset must reside on the ceiling (i.e. you have to hold SHIFT during the whole drawing); although the plugin allows you to have the 2 points on different surfaces, doing so will break the math calculations bringing to unexpected results. I could consider enforcing this by code in the future, but for now it's up to the user.
If you need to place one or both points on the edge of a room, in order to avoid clicking outside of the room, it is easier to place the point a bit far from the edge, and move the point later close to the edge while holding the SHIFT key.

The "?" symbol is shown when the line is zero length, which in pratice happens just after you have placed the first point, and the cursor hasn't moved away yet. If you hold SHIFT and you haven't a room where the cursor is, moving the mouse doesn't trigger any change and the line length stays zero. Be sure you're respecting the above points, if doing so doesn't resolve the problem maybe I misunderstood it.
