In this manner, how do you measure a glass shower enclosure?

Measure the desired height of the door on each side of the opening to the nearest 1/16 inch.

Otherwise, just make sure the top of the door is above the level of the showerhead.

Is 700mm shower too small?

700mm is narrow when most showers are 800mm wide as a minimum and 900 is probably the defacto standard. However that bath you showered in for the last few years is only 600 odd wide! So you can use a smaller size.
