Bonus tolerance from features.

I have a 5 sided square slot. The top is the open side. The print calls for a mmc position tolerance on the pocket/slot I am referencing however the program I am using has the position programmed as two opposing sets of planes, each set has a midpoint constructed between them and the position is applied to the point.

How do I construct the pocket as it's own complete feature (all 5 sides of the square, with the top open) and allow for the size of that feature to apply itself to the bonus tolerance of the position of the feature?

So I went to level 2 training at Hexagon and here is what I learned about this issue.. Updating to version 2023 allows users to construct a width feature, apply MMC and use this feature as a datum. All my problems would be solved. For the time being I was able to construct a width feature from my two opposing planes and then construct an inside sphere, constrained by the 3d width, constrain it to the 2D axis and apply MMC. I initially tried a circle and I could not get it to be tangent to the planes I used to construct the width (like facing me). Hopefully we update soon for a number of reasons.

Thanks all.
