There’s a lot of posts online and on the forum about embedding Figma into other websites, but I was wondering if it was possible to embedded websites inside of a Figma Design file? Specifically I’d like to embed a SketchFab model, ideally just providing the standard SketchFab iFrame code, and have it load in the design file and be usable? Something like this model. Is anyone aware if this is possible, or somethat that could be created through the Figma plugin api? Thanks

Please help me in this, i am trying to create thumbnails that enlarge on hover individually but scroll vertically together as a panel. there is also a little text under these thumbnails that scrolls. the scrolling is happening with a scroll bar and thumb. later, the panel is to be added to a website screen, with the hovering and scrolling of panel happening without disturbing the rest of the website screen. I have tried many methods, but basically the scrolling is overriding my thumbnail components’ hover interaction.

I saw some past topics about this but no real fixes: I can’t select any other frames of a gif as a preview other than the first frame. All software is up to date. Is there some other way to fix this?

I made this top bar for my app and it was working great, stretching according to a size of the frame, but once I made this a component and added to my library, it stopped working. How do I fix this?

Hi Community, I accidentally purchased 3 pro editor seats under my private email, instead of under my work email. Can this be changed somehow, or do I need to delete everything and re-purchase? Thank you!

Hi friends! I have a quick question: When inspecting in dev mode, I noticed a gap value displayed as “6x” with an info icon. This container is set to wrap, and the actual gap size is 24px. Do you guys know what the meaning of “6x” in this context? And how could I expand the info icon to learn more? Thanks in advance! 🙂

I am not seeing respective icons, the cursor stays the same if I try to rotate, create new frame. Even I can not see the eye dropper tool. Don’t know why it is happening.

I understand that creating a Stripe account in India is invite-only, but several platforms, like Lemon Squeezy and Dribbble, still offer India as an option for connecting with Stripe for payouts. Dribbble, for instance, recently launched their “Send Proposal” feature, which allows users in India to receive pay-outs via Stripe despite the invite-only restriction.

I can’t find my Figma file. Yesterday, I worked on it, but I can’t find it in my files, also not in my deleted files. How can I restore this? Notification: Hmm, we couldn’t find that one… This file may have been deleted, moved, or made unavailable. Try reaching out to the file owner I am the file owner and can’t find it. Please help and restore it! Link: https://www.figma.com/design/yfyjfpKdyMwwyNRQaSmfmp/soefheerhugowaard.nl?node-id=360-5744&t=8CbSGcVIymaTsXJa-1 Document: Soefheerhugowaard.nl Kind regards, Jeroen

Might be simple answer… When I create a new design file and then turn on a shared library is there a way to view all the available text and color styles from the shared library in the right Design panel in my new file? I don’t mean when I’m applying the styles to text or objects. I want to be able to see all the styles in the Design panel of my individual design files just like I can see them when I’m working in my library file:

PLEASE HELP 😦 could someone help me, with the best way to prototype a filter menu coming in from a button? I’d like the page content to ‘squeeze’ very much like outlook has the hamburger menu push in and the content gets smaller. I can’t seem to get this with an overlay as theres nothing to push? should this be done with variables? i’d be grateful of any guidance.

Hello, I create complex object, then I “group”, and “create component”. I want to modify the component, and so to “un-component” it. How to, because as for “group & ungroup”, there is “create component” but not “un-component” menu ? Best regards

What am I doing wrong?

I understand that we are allowed unlimited files in our Drafts section, even if on a Starter Plan. But ever since the changes to how Drafts work, I can no longer import files directly into my Drafts section which I could do before by following the usual ‘+ Create new’ file flow. I get an error message saying I’ve reached my Starter Plan file limit. Has anyone noticed this? I had been regularly importing files to my Drafts to record professional work in my personal Figma account for portfolio updating. Thanks, Varun

I currently have an interactive input field as a component in my sticker sheet. I found that I cannot change the input field name when apply to my work. How can I change the heading without affecting the component? Example: Currently the heading of the input field is call “Name”. I want use this component in a form and call the field “Wallet name”. And I may want to use the same component as the next field and call it “Password”. Is there any way to change the heading of the field without changing the component?

I’m trying to create a resizable animated button with a shadow where if you press it, it will collapse the shadow layer and look as if it is being pressed down. adding a drop shadow does not function as I’d hoped, it simply retracts into a kind of dissolve animation I can’t alter. I can’t flatten two shapes together because I want to keep a stroke on one of them. my problem is that when resizing the button, the shadow layer does not follow suit, and instead remains the original size. I can’t seem to merge both layers together in a way that works while keeping the auto layout function or keeping the intended appearance. is there a way to make two frames follow the same auto layout without flattening them?

I have a frame wherein the user has to select between two choices.; Radio selection let’s name it A&B. Upon selecting A, its container expands to show more features inside A (I have used Clip Content and enabled vertical scrolling) and shows the default container state of B at the bottom. Now, when I click B from this state (at the bottom) it expands to show the features but I’m only able to view half of it and have to scroll up to view the rest. I was initially using Smart Animate and now I changed it to Instant after referring to some forums, and still it doesn’t work. Please help. Thanks in advance!

I love the Duotone plugin. But, I wish I could save a set of duotones I use all the time for our brand. does anybody uses a different plugin that has that feature?

All of my local text and color styles disappeared from one of my Figma files; I tried restoring old versions of the file but they’re not there as well. I read about other people having this issue; that issue was closed; I’m posting a new one to confirm that this issue still persists. I’ll have to reimport and reapply the styles; a cumbersome, time consuming process.

I have a student that can’t verify their .edu email address. Figma keeps asking them to verify, but they never receive the email.

Olá pessoal! Tudo bem? Comecei a usar o Figma recentemente e criei umas telas e um dropdown, mas estou com dois problemas: Eu vou em assets e insiro a instância do menu que eu criei, mas quando eu abro ele ainda nas telas, o menu aberto não fica no default, e sim na variante da primeira opção do menu, como se eu já tivesse escolhido a primeira opção. Quando eu apresento o protótipo, o menu não aparece na tela. Se alguém puder me ajudar com isso, ficaria muito grata!

I would like my sticky contact button to open to the left on hover. No matter how I try the animation, my button always opens to the right, i.e. out of the frame: How would you animate the button?

Hi there, I’m sure this comes up a lot but I wondered what the best way of highlighting one item in a list of items is on click? I know I can change component variant on click but this won’t change the others back. Here’s what I need: List of Items - Default Not Highlighted Click on item - Highlight Item Click on different item - Highlight this item but UNHIGHLIGHT other item What is the best way of doing this? This is the only way I can do it at present which is laborious and requires a new component for every version of the list. Seems like an inefficient way to do it! Thanks Jen

I have developed a token-based authentication system. Utilizing a REST API, I’ve implemented PHP code to execute operations based on a file ID. When the code is executed, it returns data indicating the role of the requester in the project file. If someone other than the owner runs the code, it provides information about their role in the project file, correct? but its giving his role also the owner, is this because of i created the token?

I created draft and placed there my Ui-kit and I need to reuse it for my 3 other projects is there any advises?)
