I needed to have a measurement of the "actual" physical long dimension of a protein model to compare with x-ray scattering data. I activated the surface mesh feature and at the extreme ends of the longest axis, right at the surface boundary, created a carbon atom at each position, then simply used the distance measurement wizard to measure the distance between the too points.
