Select two vector shapes and specify how many steps to create between them.

I’ve been using it for years but never shared it before! Great for putting any objects or text on a path.

Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma, made this niche plugin 4 years ago, and I just discovered it?! “This plugin lets you edit the fill rules of a vector object. Fill rules determine which parts of a vector outline are filled. The fill rules have different behavior when a vector outline overlaps. Why is this useful? Certain export formats (e.g. TrueType fonts, Android VectorDrawable) only support the non-zero fill rule. You can use this plugin to manually convert even-odd to non-zero to make the exporters for these formats work.”

“When you have multiple vertices selected in vector edit mode, you can now type Mixed + [value] into the X or Y input box to add the same value to each vertex.”

Lauren Andres discovers an older feature “delete and heal” to create smoother vector lines.

Speaking of aligning layers, individual vector nodes can also be aligned or evenly distributed.

Steve Schoger shows how to draw a fingerprint icon using the full power of Figma’s vector networks.

Gleb Sabirzyanov suggests a few approaches for fixing broken vector paths and shapes.

Dan Hollick with another nerdy thread, this time explaining boolean operators.

I wasn’t aware of the Shift+Delete shortcut for removing points on vector paths, but Option-clicking on them with the Pen tool is an even faster way to clean up a vector path.

Another drawing challenge from Miguel. Love the simplicity of his approach and how well the icon has turned out.

How would you create a spiral in Figma without any external tools? Miggi’s answer is in the thread, but some of the solutions from others are really smart and creative too!

Anthony DiSpezio goes deep on hexagons, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Twitter or NFTs.

Warp your designs using Smudge, Twirl, Bulge, Pinch, Arc, Flag, and Free Transform tools. This premium plugin brings the typical warp tools known from other vector apps to Figma.

Combining components and shapes to create more advanced shapes.

While outlining a stroke is a common feature in design tools, I’ve never seen the opposite!

Miggi created a single-point infinity sign, then Vijay came up with a cool animation. Team work 🙌

Boolean groups + vector networks + rounded corners = magic! Don’t miss Miguel’s original thread, and check out where they brought it in the end 🤯
