Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
@Gildaniel
I'm thinking of a entry in the help menu. About the projection mode, I think it could be useful to have an on/off button on the toolbar too.
They will come in the next release.

About vertical dimension lines, this is already possible as you may have seen in my last post on the Roof plugin thread. I have to find the time to make a video tutorial. For the moment, you may follow these steps:

Install Pan3D view and 3D dimension lines plugins.
Set the camera to aerial view.
Download the tracing paper model, and import it in the plan.
you will trace the dimension lines on this sheet, so you have to put it in front of what you want to measure. You may enlarge or shrink it if required.
select the sheet, press TAB to focus the 3D view, then press CTRL+J and CTRL+K to align the camera to the sheet.
Use CTRL+mouse wheel to zoom, and middle mouse button to pan the 3D view. If you accidentally rotate the camera, just repeat the previous step to get the camera aligned again.
use the 3D dimension lines plugin to draw vertical lines on the sheet (you can learn how to use it from the help menu).

For the moment 3D dimension lines are only visible in the 3D view, not using the photo creation tool, so the only way to export them as a picture is to grab a screenshot of the 3D view. If you wish to overcome this limitation, please upvote the ticket #1142.
