### Custom Join

**Custom Join** – is a multi-functional dialog where user can define rules for studs/joins including size, count, position, rotation, spacing, alignment etc. All these rules can be saved and used in other framing configurations or shared with other users. This type of dialog is used frequently in our products, so [here you can read more about **Custom Join detailed description**](/3d-modeling-and-design/wood-framing/common/wood-metal-framing/custom-join.md)
