Question

Rounded Rectangles Like Arrows in FigJam


philphil

Hi everyone! 👋

In FigJam, I love how you can create arrows and then reshape them freely by adding angles, and the corners stay nicely rounded no matter how you move the handles.

I’m wondering:
👉 Is it possible to do the same in a Figma Design file, but with a rounded rectangle instead of an arrow?

Basically, I want to create a shape starting with a rounded rectangle and I want to be able to add angles to it (just like how arrows behave in FigJam), while still keeping the rounded corners.

Does anyone know if that’s possible? Or maybe a workaround / plugin that can help?

Basically I want to be able to reshape the rounded rectangle easily without the corne radius to change and be able to add angles like I want. How can I create easily a rectangle like the purple one in my pic? 

Thanks a lot!

Oh my god the second square you put with the rounded is what I wanted I think, I want the same shape to be able to have the same rounded corner. Can I then change the corner radius as I want? 

How do I activate Union ?

Yes, you can do it anytime

Make sure you put them in Union. I showed it in the video — just select your rectangles and choose Union Selection in the right panel.

Yes I looked at your video, but I don’t find it in the right panel. How can I see it?

I don’t manage to have the rounded corners ‘outisde’ like you did…. I want to do that 
Don’t want a 90° angle. 

On the left, it’s considered a Union now. Could you help please? I’d be supeeer helpful

Select Union layer group and change the corner radius from 0 to any you want

Just how to get to the new interface? Cause I was lost back then when they introduced the new one, so I kept the old one.

Just how to get to the new interface?

Click the question button in the bottom right corner → Use new UI.

 

By the way, starting on April 30, old interface will no longer be available.
