Known issues¶

This page lists the Figma features that do not transfer to Kanzi, and the features that transfer but may not yet render as designed in this release. Account for them in your Figma designs.

Features that do not transfer¶

These Figma features do not transfer to Kanzi. Account for them in your Figma designs.

Shapes¶

Feature	Note
Per-shape pattern / tile / repeat fills	Single image fills work — use Image transfer instead.
Miter, bevel and round corner joins	Corners are always smoothed by the SDF renderer.
Fill and stroke blend modes (Multiply, Overlay, Screen, …)	Flatten to a solid color in Figma before transferring.
Dynamic, wiggle and tapered brush strokes	Use a constant-width stroke.
Dashed strokes (any dash cap)	Not supported. Use solid strokes instead.

Text¶

Feature	Note
Text decoration (strikethrough, underline)
Text case transforms (upper, lower, title, smallcaps)	Pre-transform the text content in Figma.

Effects¶

Feature	Note
Background Blur
Layer Blur

Layout¶

Feature	Note
Auto-layout (item spacing, padding, wrap, direction)	Position children absolutely in Figma.
Layer masking (`isMask`)
Constraints (resize behaviors)
FRAME-as-shape without fills or strokes	A frame is treated as a shape only when it has at least one visible fill or stroke. Empty containers do not auto-route to Shape transfer.

Variables¶

Feature	Note
TEXTURE auto-binding	Image swaps through variables need to be wired manually in Kanzi Studio.

Variants¶

Feature	Note
Variant-prefab generation with per-variant property overrides	Build the variant states manually in Kanzi Studio.

Note

Auto-generated variant states currently switch the variant enum only — they do not drive a visual property change. Build the visual states manually in Kanzi Studio.

Styles¶

Feature	Note
Fill style	Apply the color, gradient, or image fill directly to the node — named fill styles from the Figma Styles panel are not transferred.

Connection¶

Feature	Note
Jump-to-Figma tab switching	The Figma API does not allow plugins to switch the active browser tab.

Features that transfer but may render incorrectly¶

These features transfer to Kanzi Studio but may not yet render as designed in this release.

Feature	Note
Text inside composites can show placeholder text	An inner text layer may display its design placeholder (for example `Body L · 0123`) instead of the real instance text.
Text color from variables or variants may not apply	Transferred text can stay the default color even when a color variable is bound; color variant states currently switch only an enum with no visible change.
Fonts can fall back to the Kanzi default	If a Text transfer references a font that is not yet in the project, the text renders in the Kanzi default font. Transfer the font first (or use Text as SDF / `[KZ_SDF]`), then re-transfer.
Semi-transparent shape fills may render opaque	Glass or transparent fills on shapes may come through fully opaque in this release.
