Hi there! First of all - thank you so so much for the amazing new features and products that you guys released this config, it’s so awesome to try out the new stuff!! 🎉👏🏻😍

 

I just tried the radial repeat of Figma Draw (and let me tell you, this is something I have needed so many times and only plugins could help out here before, so huge thank you for bringing this out!). I wanted to do a sun with repeating rays, but every second ray should be shorter in length. Maybe it’s on me, but I wasn’t able to figure out a way to do this easily.

 

So here’s the 2 things I wanted to raise:

  1. First of all, the repeat group is not creating the repeated elements as new objects in the layers panel. There is only one item inside (which seems to be the master of the repeat). Selecting and changing individual paths is not possible like that, which make the process of altering your repeated elements afterwards very hard (of course, you could just flatten everything, but then you’re losing the benefits of the dynamic repeat group). I would have expected to have these elements also added to the layers and be directly editable.
  1. If I modify the master to e.g. change the length of the vector I had initially created, it doesn’t really change the actual length, but it actually just gets smaller or larger. I would have expected to keep the same size and repeat settings, but have the change of length / height repeated across the elements (like I would have created a shorter path in a new repeat group)

 

Is there currently a solution for these problems or is that behavior intended and I just didn’t use the feature correctly? Looking forward to your input! :)

 

Thank you in advance,

Laura
