Hi, I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance on the best way to install my James Hardie Artisan siding on these angles? I thought about installing a piece of pvc trim under the angle and butting the cuts into that with a piece of flashing. The other idea is to cut the angles and just butt the end pieces but the angled cuts are very long and the siding doesn’t match up. Is there an easy way to address this that I’m missing? Thanks for any information, it’s greatly appreciated.
Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

We always install Z flashing over the Pvc and behind the Hardi and under the felt. Make sure you paint the cut ends of the Hardi and keep it off the flashing, we use our 5 Way as spacers and don't caulk the joint.
Thanks Florida, I appreciate your help. Have a great weekend.
