A Few Figma Plugins and Tools to Boost your Design Workflow part.2

Vectary 3D Elements

Vectary 3D Elements makes eveything just a little bit more spatial. It’s one of the easier ways of adding 3D mockups to your designs, as well as add layers, wrapping and transforms. You can place your Figma design into a preferred 3D mockup or create your custom 3D element. You can take a closer look at the thorough guide and video about the plugin to get started.

Redlines

Annotating a design with detailed measurements and specs to help the developers in charge make sense of it all can be a time-consuming process. Redlines is here to change that. The plugin helps you quickly measure and plot dimensions of any selected object. All you need to do is select one or more layers, customize the redline settings, and choose a redline option to plot.

Clean Up A Messy Frame In Figma

Perhaps you’ve dropped a few dozens of icons in a frame, so how would you arrange them in a sensible order? Obviously, we wouldn’t do such a task manually. That’s where LilGrid can help.

The little helper takes elements and arranges them into a grid automatically. You just need to select what you’d like to organize, hit “Organize to Grid” and the tool takes care of the rest, rearranging only top-level elements on your page. Obviously, there is a one-step undo if you need to restore the initial state.

Fonts Preview In Figma

Switching between typefaces manually can be a little bit tiring, so obviously there are Figma helpers for that. Better Font Picker and Font Preview help you select fonts with a preview.

Patterns In Your Figma Designs

Everything is slightly better with patterns! While creating basic patterns is usually quite straightforward, creating custom patterns might be a tricky and intense process, and that’s where Figma’s patterns plug-ins save the day.

The Pattern Hero plugin makes inserts your custom elements into a grid and repeats them to form a pattern. You can repeat or shuffle the patterns, create instances and also work with several templates. If you need to make a pattern, this is a good option to use.
