Figma is a powerful design tool that allows users to easily create and share designs. It’s an intuitive interface and powerful feature set makes it the perfect choice for both experienced designers and newcomers alike.
One of the most useful features of Figma is its ability to quickly and easily slice up designs. This can be used to create distinct elements, such as logos, buttons, or any other element you want to be separate from the rest of the design.
To cut a slice in Figma, you first need to select the object that you want to slice. To do this, simply click on it with your mouse or use the keyboard shortcut “V”.
Then, click on ‘Slice’ in the top menu bar, or press “C” on your keyboard. This will open up a dialog box where you can enter in specific measurements for your slice. You can also choose whether you want to export your slice as an image, vector shape or SVG file.
Once you’ve entered your desired settings for your sliced image, click the ‘Slice’ button at the bottom of the dialog box and your image will be cut into distinct parts according to those settings. You can then use these parts however you like – move them around within Figma or export them as separate files if needed.
Figma also offers advanced slicing options that allow you to adjust how each part of an image is cut out from another part. This includes adjusting things like corner radii and cutting out shapes with more complex angles than a standard rectangle or square.
Conclusion:
Cutting slices in Figma is a quick and easy way to create distinct elements within designs without having to manually draw them out yourself. All it takes is selecting an object and using either the Slice tool in the top menu bar or using keyboard shortcuts like “C” or “V”. Once sliced, users can move around parts of their images within Figma or even export them as separate files if needed.
