The Mirror Effect feature in Figma is a powerful tool that makes design process easier. It allows you to quickly replicate, customize and mirror an element across the canvas.
This means that when you change the design of an element, it will be reflected in all other elements that have been mirrored from it. This can save designers a lot of time when creating complex layouts or designs that require multiple elements to stay in sync with each other.
Mirror effect is easily accessible from the context menu of any object on the canvas. Simply right-click on the object and select “Mirror” from the list of options.
A new window will appear with several options to choose from. You can choose to mirror an element vertically, horizontally or both at once. You can also set the distance between mirrored elements and apply a rotation angle.
Once you have selected all your settings, click “OK” and your mirrored elements will be created instantly. All changes made to one mirrored element will automatically be applied to all other elements that have been mirrored from it.
If you want more control over your mirrors, you can use “Groups” in Figma. Groups allow you to select multiple objects at once and mirror them as a single entity. This is useful for creating complex designs like logos or icons which require many different objects to stay perfectly in sync.
Conclusion:
Making a Mirror Effect in Figma is easy and straightforward by using either the context menu or Groups feature. It allows designers to quickly create complex layouts by mirroring elements across their canvas while ensuring they stay in sync with one another.
