Hello Figma Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been an avid user of Figma for UI design, and I recently encountered a situation where a small enhancement to the stroke feature could significantly improve the user experience. To illustrate my suggestion, I’ve created a visual representation that I’ve attached to this message.

Enhancement Suggestion:

Currently, when working with strokes in Figma, when i wanted to add a stroke that is not attached to any frame or element, i have to make an invisble frame and make it a little bit larger than the child item. This can sometimes lead to issue while prototyping with smart animate and others.

Proposed Solution:

I suggest implementing a new gap feature. This would let us to add gap between the elements and storke.

Visual Representation:

I believe that this enhancement would not only streamline the design process for many users but also contribute to the overall efficiency and user-friendliness of Figma. I’m excited about the continuous improvement of Figma, and I appreciate your consideration of this suggestion.

Thank you for your time and dedication to making Figma an outstanding tool for designers.

Best regards,

Jay Dwivedi
