Clip Box allows a user to modify the model's size to the appropriate side or level.

Click on the relevant corner / edge and you will be able to change the size.

If you need the measurements of a single element, left-click on it and use the button "C". For cancelling, click on "C" again.

If you need a separate element, rather than the whole model, by choosing any edge, diminish it till the required piece. Then right-click on the edge you used for diminishing and you can change the position of the Clip Box.
