Hi! Figma AI is not available in my Figma Design tool bar: I got the AI feature enabled in my settings: I do have the AI feature in FigmaJam board: I am confused, I though everybody should have AI access from 10th of October🤔 How can I get Figma AI access in my Design board?

 What I want to do is this- a dropdown menu off a main navigation on a website. In figma OG this would be pretty simple, but FigmaSites doesn’t seem to support it. Am I missing something?

Hello, I can’t seem to figure out how to do a scrolling behaviour for prototyping. I want the text on the bottom to be visible only until the scrolling bar, meaning that the text with the 90% opacity is still shown, and what afterwards (“as a unique act in the scene”) will be only available when scrolling in prototyping. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, I’m pretty newbie at Figma and image processing in general. I’m wondering is it possible to make effect of waves propagation on the image? Something like small earthquake on the image. For example we have image of the beach and waves in 2D space. How can we try to create such effect? 

I have inquired about the education plan, but have been waiting for about a month and have not received a reply.

So for the Chinese Version of Pokemon quest they made this thing you could use a few months before they permanently shut down the game where you could generate a picture of the entire pokedex and which ones you did manage to get.I’m now recreating that layout in figma to generate a high quality version of it that’s fully completed.In the top corner it showed your player icon, which I’ve recreated here: Now each element that makes up the icon is seperate and is divided into:39 Glasses8 Skin Tones162 Clothes16 Eyes16 Mouths62 Hair Styles103 HatsI’ve made a setup like this to allow full customization for this icon which looks like this: ​​​​​There are 3 hair components since it’s split into a back, middle and front hair layer.However for this component the Front and Back toggles should not be viewable as your not supposed to edit them here.The same goes for the hat, though the hat is split into just 2 layers: a back shown behind the head and a front shown…… in the frontAdditionaly the 3 h

I was forced to update Figma, how do I revert back to the previous UI?Previous posts make it sound like this was an option is this no longer available??

Hi everyone,I noticed that when trying to publish a file, the checkbox to mark it as a paid file is currently grayed out. I also saw the note saying “We’re not accepting new paid files at this time.” Is this a temporary limitation?Any idea if or when submissions for paid files will reopen?And are there any recommended alternatives to monetize Figma content in the meantime? Thanks a lot!

Is there anyway to add a library to a team or project so that it automatically shows up in every design file in that team or project?

Is there a way to get hold of earlier version of Figma app for iPhone X. AppStore only offers latest version that requires iOS 17. The highest for iPhone X is 16.7.11. Showing prototype in web-browser on mobile is not an option.Tnx in advance for answers!Best regards, Darko

Hello everyone,  I’m trying the hide  the content on the bottom (underneath the arrows) so it will be visible only when scrolling in prototype mode. I cannot seem to hide it, ‘since move to back’ doesn’t work in this case. Any tips? Also I’m not sure this is the right way to do it, but maybe after I will be able to hide it, I could figure it out. Thank you!   

Hi all, I am a newbie to Figma and I would like to get help in using columns/grids. I have created a grid in my frame. However, now, when I want to create new rectangle, lets say in the center of the frame (horizontal and vertical), it snaps to some strange position:  Can somebody help me and advise how to make it not snap to this position? I just want to place it anywhere I want, maybe snap to the nearest “guide”. But not to move the whole rectanble to the top.  I have all snapping disabled in Preferences. I suppose it is because I use Auto Layout instead of Column/Grid, but I cannot find any option how to NOT use Auto Layout in the right side panel.Thank you.

I downloaded font “Lucida Grande” through online source. In design mode font weight appeared as “Bold” and in dev mode it should be “700” but it isn’t. It shows “600” due to this dev are keep getting confused. Same in case with Regular, in dev mode it appear as “500”.I search the issue behind and multiple sources says “its font file metadata issue,” i need to know how to resolve this. Please help out, I need dev to see the same value “700” instead of “600”. How should i do that?

Hi there! I published a plugin and am waiting for the review. When I try to launch the In-development version, it starts without any problems, but when I choose the published version (the one in the review), I get: An error occurred while loading the plugin environment. At the same time, I have another plugin that was successfully published, and I can open both versions without any errors. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or is it expected to return this error before the plugin is published to the community? Thank you.

Why is there no plan for UI designers / developers? I would only need Figma design, the new Figma site and Figma dev .  But nothing. Will they add more plans later?

Hello, We use 8 point border radius in a few projects but Figma doesn’t have the level of control we need. Example: https://9elements.github.io/fancy-border-radius/full-control.htmlborder-radius: 55% 16% 59% 10% / 54% 7% 26% 10%  We use an elaborate group of shapes to build these larger shapes but it’s a bit clunky and devs need to approximate these radius. Question: How do would you solve this? 

Greetings.I’m so used to the function of ctrl + click, which ends the current line while you’re using the pen in edit mode, allowing you to start another line inside the same shape. Basically, it does the same job as esc key, but much more convenient. But as of the new update, it actually has the same function that it does outside of edit mode: Selecting nested layers…Now I don’t know about you, but the whole point of the EDIT MODE has been isolating the selection from everything else. It becomes quite annoying when I wanna end my current line and I have to look for somewhere empty to click, in order to end the line and not select some other layer. Is there an option to keep other layers isolated while in the edit mode? I’ve been used to this function for the past 5 years and I don’t wanna go back to extending my pinky towards the goddamn esc key! Worse is when I have a picture under my lines, and it will always exits the edit mode and selects the picture if I ctrl + click to end my li
