How to dimension slanted angles in 3D documents

Hi there, 

 

Having an issue dimensioning slanted/out of plane angles for a 3D model shown in axonometric view that has been created as a 3D document for a shop drawing.

 

I can get the dimensions for the vertical heights (in red) but can't seem to get anything to work to dimension the width(pink) and depth(green) measurements. Settings for 3D documents set up as suggested from previous help forum query in https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/20/INT/AC20Help/04_Documentation/04_Documentation-46.htm#XREF_41660_D...

 

 

Operating system used: Windows

With the Dimension tool active, after you click to select all the points you want to dimension, double-click on an empty area to finish entering dimensioned points. Then, the input aid graphics will appear (a circle divided into segments) and move your cursor so the intended segment is highlighted (slightly bolder curve in the below screenshot) and then click once to place the Dimension Chain.
