How do you create a line in Perspective, just like line shape in Docs. Where you can alter length, thickness, color? Any tips? Thank you. ---

Please link to the docs you are referring to. It might be you are in the Vision section. At present, Perspective tools are still in the works, albeit active works. For now, you can use the pipe component or use an external SVG editor e.g. InkScape ---

You can do quite a lot with the label component. Set a solid border, suitable colour, thickness and then adjust the height and width. You can also set the rotate angle.
