You just measure the top of fret to bottom of string. In steel string we measure by fretting 3rd fret and measuring 1st fret with feeler gauges .002-.-004. I assume classical would be a little higher.

Gotcha, I didn't know that. Yes, we measure from the bottom of the string to the top of the fret. I just use one of the LMI digital action measuring gauges to do it.
I'm wondering if earlier in this thread we were talking past one another by assuming the same method of measurement for the 1st fret clearance. I'm guessing measured like you mention it would be a lot lower than .02. When I'm back in my shop from the holidays I'll pop a measurement off that way and post the results.
Thanks,
