Figma is a powerful design tool that has revolutionized the way people create digital products. It is an online platform that allows designers to quickly create, collaborate, and prototype digital products.
One of the most useful features in Figma is the ability to overlay frames. This feature enables designers to quickly layer multiple elements on top of each other, creating complex designs with ease.
To overlay frames in Figma, you first need to select the frame you want to overlay. You can do this by clicking on the frame in the canvas or by selecting it from the layers panel.
Once you have selected your frame, go to the “Overlay” dropdown menu located at the top of your canvas. From here, you will have several options for overlaying frames:
- Align: This allows you to align multiple frames relative to each other in both horizontal and vertical directions. The options available are “Top”, “Bottom”, “Left”, “Right”, and “Center”.
- Copy: This allows you to make a copy of a selected frame and place it above or below your original frame.
- Group: This allows you to group multiple frames together into a single frame.
Once you have chosen your desired method of overlaying frames in Figma, simply drag and drop one frame onto another one. The overlaid frame will then appear on top of your original frame while maintaining its original size and position relative to your canvas.
It’s also possible to adjust how two frames overlap using the Overlay Settings window.
You can access this window by selecting any two overlapping frames in your canvas and then clicking on the “Overlay Settings” button located in the upper-right corner of your canvas. Here you can adjust both opacity levels as well as blending modes between two overlapping frames.
Conclusion:
Figma’s overlay feature makes it easy for designers to quickly layer multiple elements on top of each other and create complex designs with ease. To begin overlaying frames in Figma, select a frame from either the canvas or layers panel, choose an option from the Overlay dropdown menu at the top of your canvas (Align/Copy/Group), and then drag and drop one frame onto another one. You can further customize how two frames overlap using Overlay Settings window by selecting two overlapping frames in your canvas and clicking on the “Overlay Settings” button located in the upper-right corner.
