Bounding Box - simplest and best addition for donkeys !

When you make a bounding box .. you are typically doing so in order to see the major dims

Q: Can Bounding box (have an option to) show the major dims automatically - actually on the model ?

... I realise there is a readout at the top - but if your object is near cubic in proportion .. you then need to measure the bounding box edges

unfortunately the terms "width" & "height" sometimes have no real significance

eg: when you are frequently exchanging data with Solidworks for example or other CAD systems where Y is up by default .. or when laying out parts to cut where z is cut depth, regardless of object orientation

Here, I just want to see my max extents quickly - and then probably delete them !
