🧾 What custom flashings are
Custom flashings are fabricated profiles that you can configure with specific dimensions, fasteners, and accessories. They're based on profiles you've previously created and flat stock sheet materials you've defined in your system setup.
🔧 How to select and configure a custom flashing
From the flashing list, select Custom
The Define a custom flashing dialog box opens with the following configuration options
🧾 Custom flashing configuration options

Name | The name of the Flat Stock Sheet table you defined under Set-Up > Flat Sheet. This table defines the fabrication cost given a matrix of girths and bends. It also defines the stock sheet size and material and finish. |
Girth | A drop-down box of girths defined in the relevant table |
Bends | A drop-down box of bends defined in the relevant table |
Fastener | The fastener you want to use for this flashing. To select a fastener, click the button on the right hand side. |
Fasteners/m | The number of fasteners you want per unit length |

You can also change them if you wish. If you do not change the list, the word "standard" is displayed. If you have changed the list, the words "non-standard" are displayed. |
Install rate/m | This is where you set the labour rate for the custom flashing |
