Yup, that's on my list of topics. Surface plates are used for more than just laying out parts.
Basically you just set a part on a surface plate with a gauge block setting next to it of the nominal height. Then you compare the two with a tenth reading indicator. Of course everything has to be super clean and the part being measured has to be the same temperature as the blocks.
