The Boss/Bore 3Pt probe feature probes outside (Boss) or inside (Bore) from three directions specified by the operator. The location of the feature should be at the level of the top of the Boss or Bore feature. The Clear Height is above this location and the Measure Height is below, so the total movement along the Probe Direction is (Clear Height + Measure Height).
