This tab lists any dimensions that were created in the current3D scene.
These dimensions are not present in the Hierarchy tab.
Dimensions can be created from within the 3D Viewer panel by using the Dimensions 
tool.
When using this tool, a yellow square will appear around the cursor’s position to place the first point of measurement.
Once clicked, a second point can be placed to create a dimension that will be displayed in the 3D Viewer and appear in the Dimensions tab in the 3D Scenes tab.

In addition, the box displays the Position of the current yellow square as well as the last measure that was taken.
