Some of the export formats support this exporting LRUD in a splay-like
way too - e.g. try export to SVG with "Cross-sections" enabled.  To get
something most like your image, also turn *OFF* "Walls" and "Passages".

More generally, I think splays and passage dimensions should get handled
with much more commonality.  Much of the current splay handling comes
from before the days of hand-held all-in-one instruments with a laser to
measure distance.
