What are you measuring to, the base of the studs or the top of the piece?

The top of the piece—full height of the piece, less studs that protrude above
that height, same as (almost?) every other piece. I thought that was the standard
nomenclature? I don’t see this as any different than Curved Slope 2 x 4 x 1 1/3
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6081 or Curved Slope
8 x 1 x 1 2/3 with Arch https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50967
, both of which are described by their full height, not just the highest or lowest
attachment points
Here’s how I see it: If you have a 7-plate gap, can you put this piece there?
If not, then having that height in its description is misleading.
(I figured this was just a case of somebody either mis-measured or assumed it
was the same as the top panels years or decades ago, and nobody has ever both
noticed and cared enough to bother fixing it. I only noticed because I
was building something, and the math I’d done in my head wasn’t working, because
I’d assumed the top and bottom panels were the same height due to the part names.
Even with the parts in hand, my brain kept trying to make things work that didn’t,
until I realized what I was doing, and that the problem was the part name was
misleading. I think every other time I’ve used this piece, I was just building
around it, so I wasn’t really thinking about it’s overall dimensions.)

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The name and dimensions have been
updated.
Cheers,
