There are a few different ways to create a drop down menu in Figma.

1. Use the Menu component:

To create a drop down menu in Figma, you can use the Menu component. To do this, first create a menu item in your design.

Next, add a Menu component to the item. The Menu component will allow you to specify the following properties:.

• Name: The name of the menu item.

• Type: The type of menu item.

• Checkbox: If the menu item has a checkbox associated with it, set this property to true.

• Menu Item: The actual menu item that you want to appear in the menu.

Once you have created the menu item and the menu component, you can add a drop down menu to the item. To do this, add a div element to the item and add a drop down menu to the div. The drop down menu will have the following properties:

• Menu Item: The name of the menu item that you want to appear in the menu.

• Click Event: The event that will be fired when the user clicks on the menu item.

• Item Text: The text that will be displayed next to the menu item.

• Selected Item: The selected item in the menu.

• Enabled: If the menu item is enabled, set this property to true.

• Opacity: The opacity of the menu item.

Once you have added the drop down menu to the item, you can configure the properties of the drop down menu. To do this, add the following properties to the drop down menu:

• Item Level: The level of the menu item.

• Item Visibility: The visibility of the menu item.

• Selected Item Border: The border that will be added to the selected item in the menu.

• Distance From Top: The distance that the menu item will be from the top of the element.

• Distance From Left: The distance that the menu item will be from the left of the element.

• Distance From Center: The distance that the menu item will be from the center of the element.

• Distance From Right: The distance that the menu item will be from the right of the element.

• Menu Item Level: The level of the menu item.

• Disabled: If the menu item is disabled, set this property to false.

• Enable: If the menu item is enabled, set this property to true.

• Selected: If the menu item is selected, set this property to true.

• Default Value: The default value of the menu item.

Once you have added the properties to the drop down menu, you can configure the properties of the drop down menu in the following ways:

• Width: The width of the drop down menu.

• Height: The height of the drop down menu.

• Scrolling: If the drop down menu should be scrolled, set this property to true.
