Measure panel

This script displays in OBJECT MODE:
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the origin of the
  3D space (if NOTHING is selected).
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the center of an object
  (if exactly ONE object is selected).
* The distance between 2 object centers
  (if exactly TWO objects are selected).
* The surface area of any selected mesh object.
* The average normal of the mesh surface of any selected mesh object.
* The volume of any selected mesh object.

Display in EDIT MODE (Local and Global space supported):
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the origin
  (in Local space it is the object center instead).
* The distance of the 3D cursor to a selected vertex.
* The distance between 2 selected vertices.

Usage:

This functionality can be accessed via the
"Properties" panel in 3D View ([N] key).

It's very helpful to use one or two "Empty" objects with
"Snap during transform" enabled for fast measurement.
