How Do I Make a Button Group in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:07 am

As a web developer, there are certain tools that you use on a daily basis. One of those tools is Figma. Figma is a vector graphic design tool that allows developers to create prototypes for web and mobile applications.

One of the features that Figma offers is the ability to create button groups. Button groups are useful for creating navigation menus, or for grouping together related buttons. In this article, we will show you how to create a button group in Figma.

First, open Figma and create a new file. Then, create a rectangle on the canvas. This will be the first button in the group.

Next, add another rectangle to the canvas. This rectangle should be the same size as the first one. Place it next to the first rectangle.

Now, select both rectangles and click on the “Group” icon in the toolbar. This will group the two rectangles together.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, it is easy to create a button group in Figma that does not work correctly. Make sure that all of the buttons in your button group are the same size and have the same amount of padding around them. Otherwise, your button group may not function properly.

Next, we need to add some text to the buttons. To do this, select one of the rectangles and click on the “Text” icon in the toolbar.

A text box will appear on the rectangle. Type in the text that you want to appear on the button. Repeat this step for the other rectangle.

Now, we need to give our button group a name. To do this, click on the “Name” field in the toolbar and type in a name for the group. We’ll call ours “Button Group”.

Finally, we need to add some styling to our button group. To do this, select one of the rectangles and click on the “Fill” color in the toolbar.

A color picker will appear. Choose a color for your button and then repeat this step for the other rectangle.

That’s it! You’ve now created a button group in Figma!
