PC-DMIS Romer, measure height to radius angled flange

Hi all-
This should be simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I have a sheet metal part with a flange bent up at a 44° angle, and the flange ends in a 0.50" radius (CIR3). I need to measure the height from the base of the part (PLNA) to the tip of the radius (0.636" shown). If the flange was bent at a 90°, I'd simply take the measurement and 'ADD RADIUS', but doing that in this instance adds the full 0.50", when in reality it would be ~0.347" that needs to be added.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Height gage or optical comparator would be a better choice in my opinion.

It could be done, but might be a pain in the butt. I'd probably measure the plane on that surface, then try the 1(inch?) radius. Next, you would want to do some sort of localized alignment on that surface and get an alignment axis pointing up at the radius. You may need to create either a generic or alignment line pointing up at the radius, then construct a pierce point at the top of the radius.
