QOL Tools: HUD-Dimensions earns its place in the Superhive library as a small-footprint quality-of-life add-on that surfaces object dimensions without keeping the NPanel open. It holds a 5-star rating from a small number of reviews, and the developer is a Blender Development Fund contributor. The same add-on also comes bundled free with the QOL Tools: Full Collection.
QOL Tools: HUD-Dimensions adds an always-on, at-a-glance display of the actual size of selected objects in Blender. Instead of opening the NPanel and digging into the item tab to read dimensions, the HUD keeps that information on screen so you can check an object's size at any time.
The HUD is customisable: you can place it and color it however you like. It also includes an option to set the size of an object directly, using a button you assign to your own preferred hotkey — size here is independent of scale. A warning color option flags when an object's scale is wrong, which helps identify texture problems before they become an issue. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Now offered in the Blender 4.2 extension format as an add-on, HUD-Dimensions works across Blender 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.6, and is released under the GPL license. It's also included for free as part of the QOL Tools: Full Collection package.
Qol Tools: Hud-Dimensions is best for blender users who want an object's actual dimensions visible at a glance without keeping the NPanel open.

QOL Tools: HUD-Dimensions includes an option to change the size of an object directly, which the developer points out is completely independent of scale. You assign your own preferred hotkey to the supplied button, then set the size straight away. This sits alongside the main HUD, which displays the actual dimensions of selected objects at a glance. There's also a warning color option that flags when an object's scale is wrong, helping you spot texture problems early. See the developer's page and the included documentation for setup details.
QOL Tools: HUD-Dimensions is released under the GPL license and is compatible with the Blender extension system as an add-on. The developer is also listed as a Blender Development Fund contributor. Documentation is included to help you get the HUD set up and customise its placement and color.
