Feature Set to Surface Profile

Hi, I am new to the forum so please be considerate.

When you are creating a feature set and say you put in a circle, a line, and a plane, to create (scn1) when you output (scn1) as a profile Form+Location and MaxMin does this give you the profile of each individual point in those features or a profile of the centroids of those features?

If the centroids, Is there an easier way other than probing all the points over again or probing all the points and then creating your features to get what I am looking for?

Thank you for your help!

I understand it is only the matter of .0001 but I am highly doubting our machinists can build a part that can hold that close of flatness/surface profile... and my question is should'nt these be the same?
