You need to measure them off of the plans or off of the pictures in the reference section.

A note about Stefan’s pack drawing with the clamp is that his is too wide. Using his drawing for the clamp will lead to inaccurate clamps that make the cables look too small.

in the end relying on plans too heavily is not always best imho. i just go with what looks proportional.
