I am trying to import screens I have created in Figma however once imported the design is all over the place, sizing is off, elements moved etc.

Anybody has any suggestions on how can I import a like for like version from Figma?

I have yet to see a successful implementation of Figma in Thunkable. The little I tried when it first was added to the product was a failure. I’m sure part of it was my fault but I’d love to see a proper tutorial on how to do this well.

@vvaroczii can you try delete Screen1 and then import into a “blank” Thunkable project?

Let me know whether or not that works for you, if not please PM me your Figma file

I have only tried implementing Figma once, just to test it out, and it worked quite well for me:

The sizing and spacing is also pretty on-point.

@domhnallohanlon I am unable to delete Screen 1, I get a blank screen and on refresh the screen is back.

On import I get the below.

Can you try importing before you refresh the page?

What does the alignment look like when you preview your app?

The only issues I can see are the icons at the top of the screen - right?

For the “My profile” and job title labels can you set the text alignment to left?

Icons displayed incorrectly, the line wasnt imported, some of the labels have been resized…  
Also I have noticed when I link a block to a component e.g. on click action to a card, in the companion app the card is invisible…

Hi @domhnallohanlon hope you well!

I am experiencing a very similar issue to @vvaroczii, would you be able to assist in the same way through PM? Would greatly appreciate the help!

Thank you!

Just seeing this question now @nchila2p - what sort of app are you working on? Can you post about it here so that we can all learn together?

Thanks!
