You can try it from an elevation camera view w/a "tape measure" or "point to point" dimension. Not an option with a 3d view.

I tried this suggestion, but it doesn't show the terrain, instead it goes all the way to the basement floor.  Maybe I'm just not pointing the camera in the right direction.  I'll keep messing with it.

Use a Backclipped Cross Section camera. 

 

Here I used a Point to Point dimension which snapped to the peak and terrain.

Sometimes, depending on the plan, it helps to draw a CAD line from the peak out over the terrain and then measure between it and the terrain.

 

You can also place points and then measure between them.
