Whenever I try to add shapes or text to a frame/non-frame section with custom options with Auto Layout, it clips to the side and glitches out. I’m trying to add vertical padding to the top of my footer so the section next to it can have some differentiation.
A video of what I’m talking about is below.
Hi @Scott1a, Thank you for reaching out about this. I appreciate you sharing the video.
I observed that “Ellipse 25” is nested within “ELM BG”.
“ELM BG” has auto layout applied with the settings (direction: vertical, alignment: Top left, vertical padding: 50) so the results at 0:24 appear to be as intended.
Please try experimenting with the properties of auto layout to ensure the element is displayed in your desired position. Here are some resources that may help you along the way:

Thanks for your response. I understand now. So, how do I add vertical padding to a frame without all the other properties interfering with element placement?
Thank you for your response. I’m glad to hear that.
When you apply vertical padding to an Auto Layout frame, it also applies to the frame’s child objects. However, if you apply Ignore Auto Layout to child objects, they are excluded from the Auto Layout flow while remaining within the Auto Layout frame.
