Choose Axonometric, then select your desired options.
Or you can use any graph paper (also in link), then turn on point.
You'll then be able to see on paper what KrisB has explained.
Plus, can check out other options you may want to consider.
There's calculators and charts online for the diagonal distance across a block.
However, for me, I find it just as easy, (perhaps simpler?)
to go old school and just measure with a ruler!

I particularly like how I can change the graph line distances and weights of the lines.
Plus that I can put in marker lines of a different weight.
And of course, all the more off-beat types that it offers too!
