        Hi

        You could add a dimension within the component aligned with the face. Dimensions can be tweaked via the window/model info menu, select dimensions.

        If you create a board component then you can scale to any other size by entering the measure followed by the units

        To create a board where the material is not stretched after scaling, right click an make unique, and then right click and scale definition

        Further more one can add a tag in the dimension followed by <> this will create a named item followed by the dimension


        tagged with board...

            Thank You Pilou for the suggestion! The packing plugin is seems to be fantastic, but is says me this:
            Aucun composant en panneau.
            All elements are solid components...

              First
              You must create with plugin Piece each component(s) ! (don't forget to change Name between each) !
              Any dimension X, Y, Z , any name... Green dimension will be the thickness of the big slab!

              Then run Packing! πŸ˜‰(no need to select something! )

              For example πŸ˜„
              As there is no same tchickness of material there are different scenes with same material!
