REFERENCE Method
For this calculation method, the thickness is the diameter of the maximum inscribed circle. This is the default method.
This method is available for the Maximum Thickness parameter. A typical example of the parameter is shown below:

For most types of sections, the MAX_INSCRIBED and TWO_POINT methods give identical results. However, some highly-cambered sections give a significant difference.
An example of the MAX_INSCRIBED method is shown below:
