Phoshop CS3 Extended - new measurement tools and 3D tools

Has anybody tested out the new features of CS3 Extended, specifically the measurement tools and the new 3d tools? It seems to me that the new measurement tools could significantly improve the accuracy of fan art, if enough photo references are available to get a complete set of measurements.

For those who haven't read the blurbs on the new stuff:

3D compositing and texture editing
Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites — even edit existing textures on 3D models directly within Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software and immediately see the results. Photoshop Extended supports common 3D interchange formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ, and COLLADA, so you can import, view, and interact with most 3D models.

Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support
Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces — even those connected at angles other than 90 degrees — with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.

2D and 3D measurement tools
Extract quantitative information from images with new measurement tools. Easily calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use any of the Photoshop Extended selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area, and other measurements. Record data points in a measurement log and export data, including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
Thoughts, experiences to share, anyone?
