Give it a vector and pick an axis, and you get that one number, ready to drive anything that takes a number.

Its most useful partner is Bounds. Measure another part, take just its height, and use that to size or place something else. That is how an assembly holds together when a knob moves: the second part reads the first rather than repeating its numbers.
