Troubleshooting
When a build looks wrong
Find your symptom below.

My icons turned into pictures
Icons drawn as vectors are always exported as images. Text set in an icon font is too.
- 1This is expected for vector icons, and they will look correct.
- 2If the icon came from an icon font, redraw it as a real vector.
- 3Check the icon is visible in Figma, since hidden layers are skipped.
A whole section became one flat image
The group looked like artwork rather than layout, so it was flattened into a single picture.
- 1Name the layers inside it instead of leaving names like Rectangle 3.
- 2Add a real text layer inside the group.
- 3Reduce nesting so the group is not buried many levels deep.
- 4Send the design again and rebuild that section.
The layout is off or spacing looks wrong
The Figma structure was ambiguous, so the layout had to be inferred.
- 1Use Auto Layout for real rows and columns.
- 2Replace empty spacer layers with parent padding and gaps.
- 3Use one frame per real page section.
- 4Ask for structural corrections before spacing ones, since structure moves everything.
Mobile looks wrong
Without a mobile reference, responsive behavior is inferred from the desktop design.
- 1Design a mobile frame in Figma.
- 2Send it along with the desktop frame.
- 3In project setup choose Group by breakpoint and assign each design its viewport.
Fonts look wrong
A custom font was not uploaded, or the destination does not have it installed.
- 1Upload the font files when project setup asks for them.
- 2Use real Figma text, since outlined text becomes a picture.
- 3For Webflow, install the fonts in your Webflow site before pasting.
The build stopped partway
The build paused, or another project is already building on your account.
- 1Wait a few seconds.
- 2Press Continue build to resume from the last checkpoint.
- 3Check whether another project is building, since only one runs at a time.
