Is there an interference feature similar to the "Pairs Clearance" feature under the "Analysis" tab

I'm working in an assembly in Creo 7.0.2.0, and I am trying to determine the interference between two objects. I want to determine the distance between the two furthest points of each object to determine how much they are interfering with each other. I found the "Pairs Clearance" feature that lets you select two objects, and it will show you the clearance between the two closest points of each object. I was wondering if there was a feature that did the same thing for interference parts, so I can determine the extent of how far the two parts are interfering. I have tried the "Global Interference", but it just outputs a volume and not a distance. Does anyone have any more experience with this? I am somewhat new to the "Analysis" tab and have only used it for measurements and mass properties.

I don't think there is anything like that.

I know that sometimes it's not as easy on a complicated part, but I usually just try to figure out vertices or somewhere to pick that will give me a close number. Otherwise I do it by trial and error, it can be a pain when the assembly is large and/or simpliifcation is difficult.

I've been able to create cross sections in order to make a sketch based off the geometry to get some rough dimensions, but there are a few instances where this can be difficult due to the orientation of each component. I wasn't sure if there was a way that is less tedious than this other than the measurement tool.
