Default Custom Shower Pan with Membrane (Threshold Question)

At the thresholed wire lath in a single or double layer is bent to fit
snugly over the lumber framing the threshold, NO FASTENERS PENETRATE
THE MEMBRANE
Mud is trowelled on and pushed through the lath and a slight inward
slope is created.

Thanks for the reply! That makes total sense!

Would it be adviseable to put the lathing in place before I mud the
floor (with the thought that the floor mud would hold the lathing in
place at the threshold), or does it not really matter?

Another question I had was with respect to the threshold sides (and
top)... Is green-board sufficient, as a base for tile, or is
backerboard typically used in those places as well?

Thanks again for any advice!

Best Regards,
Todd
