Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a Figma project with a remote team, and while the platform is fantastic, I’m running into a few collaboration challenges. I’d love to hear how others handle similar situations. First, I’m looking for tools or workflows that streamline communication and feedback during the design process. I came across (https://higgdominorp.id/), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma. Second, I’m having trouble keeping everyone aligned on design iterations. Does anyone have tips for organizing files, comments, or version control to avoid confusion? Lastly, I’d love to hear how others manage time zones and asynchronous work in remote Figma teams. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful? Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
Hey everyone, I've noticed that the transition from a pixel-perfect Figma design to a fully functional Elementor build can sometimes be more complicated than expected. Whether it's aligning responsive layouts, dealing with plugin limitations, or managing custom code and design tokens, many of us have faced hurdles along the way. Here are a few common issues that often come up: Responsive Design Breakdowns: What looks great in Figma doesn't always adapt well in Elementor. Plugin vs. Manual Conversion: Automated plugins may save time but often compromise on precision or flexibility. Integrating Custom CSS/Code: Sometimes achieving the exact look requires extra tweaking and manual code adjustments. Component Consistency: Keeping design tokens and shared styles uniform across projects can be a real headache. Workflow Efficiency: Balancing speed with quality when recreating complex components. I’d love to hear from you—what specific challenges have you encountered when converting Figma desi
I’m currently the solo person on the team that works in Figma and eventually builds the website using Elementor. After designing a site and then discovering its not easy to implement a part of it, I want to recreate the Elementor widget in Figma and use variables for its design parts. (Sidenote: I’m at the point where I want to start to break free from Elementor but the boss and the client want to be able to edit the site.) I was able to do this successfully for one project, but want to make it easy to use for the multiple clients/projects that come. Variables were set up using the Base, Semantic, Component so changing a base color to the new brand’s colors is a simple process. I originally thought that having a library of the various Elementor widgets in a neutral color scheme would do that could be imported into various files. Components from that library still use its variables, as expected. Is there an easy way for me to map to the brand’s variables? Effectively, a super wide view
Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a project where I need to create animated prototypes from my Figma designs, but I’m running into a few challenges and would love some advice. First, I’m looking for a reliable tool to export and animate my Figma designs efficiently. I came across capcet (http://capcetapk.com), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma. Second, I’m having trouble optimizing the animations for different platforms (like web or mobile). Does anyone have tips for maintaining quality while keeping file sizes manageable? Lastly, I’d love to hear how others handle syncing animations and transitions smoothly in their prototypes. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful? Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
Hi Everyone, One of my clients is currently hosting their site on WordPress with Elementor to design. Anyone know of any good ways to get Figma to Elementor or will I have to build it all manually?
I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them. I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.
@Junko3 This issue is still persistent today. Actually there’s 2 issues here, depending how the component is built: Firstly a nested component that uses slots loses any override when using variables, this is not the case when changing from UI For components that have nested components in the master pre-made, without using placeholders, it is not possible to use DIFFERENT variables if the variant property is the same. In my example the blue instance has a light and dark variant. The property name is “blueProp”. Because the blue instance appears twice in the green component, the “blueProp” also appears twice in the nested component panel. See attached video for these 2 problems. Master with pre-nested instances: No problem while using UI Same setup but I cannot use different variables for different nested instances Master with placeholders / slots: No problem while using UI Using variables breaks / loose overrides I can provide the file if needed. Test with Figma Beta freshly restarted a
Basic use case I have a menu component which is composed of: header frame body frame footer frame In the body frame there is a menu-list-item component. When I use a menu component instance I would like to be able, in the properties panel, to increase the number of menu-list-item to n instances. Feature suggestion: would be a feature that would allow me to flag the menu-list-item as a component instance that can be replicated n times inside my instance, either vertically or horizontally. It would avoid the cumbersome and not so clean workaround of working with slots/placeholders and keep in files plenty of “unique content component”. Other use case In my input, when in “inserted” state I can either choose to have chips or text.In the case of chips I would like to flag the chips as elements that can be replicated n times horizontally. In my instance I would be then able to select the “insterted” state of my input with chips instead of text and would be able to put multiple chips as resu
Figma is the best tool, but I think it have something to do better to make a nice portotype I don’t understand why the overflay not support smart animation? another question is when I use overlay Nav to another page, I can’t go back the overlay, I feeling so crazy…
I tried to access my figma file on my 2021 macbook pro since yesterday and I'm just stuck in a blank screen that doesn't display my files. I tried this on web and desktop app and on multiple browsers the same issue. but it works when I access my files on a windows laptop. I attached a screenshot below
Hello. I dont have a computer, only tablet. Im also from not english-speaking country and that means that basic fonts are not usable in my language. I tried to find solution and way, how to set up fonts in web version from android, but couldnt. Do you know the way?
The Y position of my frame keeps changing. I want my content to scale to the bottom instead of from the center. But somehow I magically fixed it while I was recording my screen. Where can I find the setting to keep it fixed? Screen record Edit: While the Y-position is now fixed, my frame auto layout was automatically changed from Hug to Fixed, which is not what I wanted
Hi all ! I’m used to use the Pen to remove the background of my picture, and then resizing it as I want. But since the new updates, when I try to resize it it only resize the vector and not the image even if it’s the mask group that is selected. However, I don’t have the issue on older picture I’ve created a mask with before the update. Anyone has this issue too ? Thanks in advance
