Constructed Width Error

I am measuring two planes PLN3 and PLN4, both in Z+. I would like to create a constructed width. I create a reverse plane from my top plane so it has normal Z-. Below it I have a plane with normal Z+. Constructed Width - 3D - In tells me "Math failed. Make sure that the areas of the inputs overlap." Any ideas?

I know this is a super old thread but I have found a way that works pretty well actually two different ways,

1.)Take your plane that you want to reverse the vector points and construct plane out of it use num.hits then manually change the vector and update actual, then construct the width from this and the lets say top plane.

2.) same thing take the plane you want to reverse the vector on and point cloud this feature then construct plane out of that point cloud, then manually flip the vector and update actual this works also
