in 3D - Section Box all measurement tools are grey indication of no use/doesn't applay/stay away/? Using 3D-SB you can have a glance insidea 3D modell and there be objects that only have a elevaton and no other properties except New Constuction (Specialty Equipment). So confirming space is a pain.

You can add dimensions in 3D views to check distances. Don't have access to Revit at the moment, so I can't confirm whether or not you can use the measure tool in 3D views.

do you want to put dimensions in 3d section of on object in 3d view ?
You can do it using a small trick:
