I need to check the length of something in the pc version of the app.  
How do I measures?

I’m assuming the pc version is the same as the IPad one:

Measurements are shown at the bottom of the screen usually like this

If you need the distance between two lines that aren’t on the same plane, just select them and it should show the Δx Δy and Δz.

That’s the problem, I do not see it in the PC version.

That seems to be working. Looks like you selected a body, and it’s measurements are displayed. Is this not what you expect?
