Can anyone enlighten me as to how a team needs to confirm that they meet the 54" rule?

Are inspectors asking this question? Are they asking a team to expand to its full size and measuring..??

just wondering.
We have a CAD drawing that shows our extensions to give an inspector to show how we meet the rule.

thanks!
We printed off a few cad models to prove that we didn't exceed 54". The inspector said he appreciated this. To manually check, he took a measuring tape, and measured from furthest point to furthest point.
