Material Thickness with AutoFeature points

I'm measuring the material thickness on a casting with curved surfaces. I have points at the same co-ordinates on opposite sides of the material and am having issues getting the correct readings. The vectors on the opposing points are opposite, not sure if this is correct. Since these are points not along a datum so measuring parallel or perp. to them is not an option. Thanks.

  • The vectors should be opposite. As far as I understand you're trying to take a hit from X to the left and then from X to the right (or vice versa for both), so the vectors must be different.

    Are you able to use more than one point? Perhaps define a plane or cylinder, depending on the feature. There is a width feature somewhere I've read about...
