‫Hey, everyone, I want to jump right into frames.

‫So frames are very important for creating UI in Figma.

‫So this is where the frame tool is.

‫You could easily create a frame by pressing f.

‫So if I just press f, I've already have the tool selected over here.

‫I want to just point this out really quickly, because when you do create a frame, you're going to

‫see the ability to create a frame based off of a phone size or a tablet size.

‫They even have desktop sizes.

‫So you can create the frame based off of that.

‫You can also just draw it on the board on the canvas area.

‫So I can just draw a large frame like that and it's automatically going to say frame one, I'm going

‫to just go back really quickly.

‫But if I select like say the phone, it's going to automatically create that frame and also create the

‫name for the frame.

‫You will name the frame based off of the type of device, and you can also select that frame name and

‫and rename it any which way you like.

‫So frames are really great for creating content or putting your content inside.

‫So how do you use frames?

‫So if I have my frames selected, I can see all the properties associated with this frame.

‫I can see its fill.

‫I can add in different fill if I want to.

‫I can see like its positioning, I can see its size.

‫Basically, this is the majority of the stuff that you're going to basically see with a frame.

‫Now to create a frame, you can do a couple of different things.

‫So say if I have a couple of different items.

‫So I'm going to create some squares, so I'm going to take the rectangle tool or I'm going to just press

‫our.

‫Angle.

‫Hold on shift while I'm dragging to make a square.

‫Can we make a copy by pressing option?

‫So I have two squares here.

‫Let's make them blue squares.

‫So we have two blue squares here.

‫Now you can take two items and actually select them and group them as a frame.

‫The easiest way to do that is either click one and hold shift and click the other, and you can do this

‫until you decide not to do it and select a bunch.

‫Or you can just drag over and you would select command option and G.

‫That is for Mac OS.

‫You can also do the same with control all g on windows.

‫So that's how you group a frame.

‫And that's the easiest way for that.

‫Now, if I wanted to take this frame away, I'm just going to just press shift command G, which is

‫actually the same or a similar command to which is on Windows, which is shift control.

‫G So I've selected that now the frame is disappeared.

‫So I like to put frames within frames just as containers to hold my content.

‫And you're going to see how I do that later.
