Hi Chibuike!
In order to enable the ruler, please click on Figma logo Capture d’écran 2023-11-01 à 14.48.47 to open the main menu.

  1. Go to View > Rulers.

You can also enable rulers by using the keyboard shortcut Shift + R.

This is not what i meant​:weary:😩. The problem is that when i create a rect. with a corner radius of 30, and i want to use the boolean operation it doesn’t show ontop of my Figma app. Even when i went to object to use one of the boolean operation it seems to be not active, when i click on one of the boolean operation it doesn’t respond. Do you get it now???

Can you please share a quick video recording (or screenshot) of the different steps you’ve made so we can replicate on our end? It will help me to better visualise your issue. Please include the whole window, with the properties and layers panels in view and relevant layers expanded, and select any layers you’re having trouble with so we can check any relevant settings.

From what I understand, you’d need to create two shapes (for instance: two rectangles), select both of them so that the boolean operation can appear.

In the meantime, as recommendation, in order to cover some basics, please refer to this guide: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039957534-Boolean-operations as explained. This article includes a video that gives details of how to use boolean operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZaX6qEcUCU&t=1s

As a reminder, if you have any other questions not related to the thread, please create another thread and precise your question in the title of your topic for the community. So others in the community can have a better look at your questions!

And in the second image when i went to the object and boolean groups, the operations are not active. Do you get it now???

Thank you for the screenshot Chibuike. Please select the two shapes at the same time so the boolean operation can work.
Here the screenshot:

ok.But if i don’t want to use the two rectangles i.e if i want to use only one rectangle does it mean that the boolean operations won’t work???


Like this???
Because i really need the boolean operations to be active in only one items

Yes, you need to have two shapes.
