You can’t measure the distance between 2 planes and get an accurate reading because planes are infinite (they go on forever) and no 2 planes are exactly parallel to each other. The most you will get is a best fit as the CMM tries to find the closer or larger distance between.
Better to level and origin to one surface and then from there measure profile of points taken on the other surface. Recall the points and tolerance them accordingly.
This is incorrect.
But can you put a square peg through a round hole?
Yes. It depends on the size of the round hole.
Will centroid of one plane to another plane give you the real min or max distance between planes?
And upon achieving said distance the following ways above, can you fit that distance between the actual minimum parallel condition of both planes.
f not, is there more information needed? In dealing with my engineers they have been far more interested to know the actual distances at multiple points vs. that of an average mating condition. Just saying. I guess it depends on what you are looking for and sometimes to much information can be a bad thing. They will pick the way that makes them happy. Remember, it will more than likely come down to a judgement call and get shipped anyway.
