Better way to Show/Hide layers
Mickey Xiong
Are you telling me this feature has been in the making for 6 years now?! Seems pretty fundamental for a prototyping app. What even!

Mickey Xiong Yup. I asked for this back in 2019… and again when Auto Layout launched — when it became absolutely crucial.
Just checked in on the progress today and was greeted by my 7-year-younger self, still so hopeful they’d consider it. 🥲
It’s wild — literally every contextual surface interaction inside Auto Layout needs hide/show logic.
Meanwhile, I’m here setting heights to zero, nesting fixed groups inside wrappers, and playing 4D Tetris with XYZ axes in milliseconds… only to revert it all for a single fade transition.
At this point I could probably vibe-code the whole thing in Figma MCP inside my IDE in eight minutes flat.

This is super highly needed! especially having auto-layout in place now! We need to be able to click a button and hide layers, where the auto-layout will adjust accordingly. The functionality of toggling the show/hide icon is already there, but we need to be able to trigger it!
Matthew Miller
with autolayout in beta being able to hide a layer would be huge. Opacity changes dont trigger autolayout to do its magic.

With all the complexity this tool offers, it's baffling this functionality is missing

How is this still not implemented yet?

Surprised this doesn't exist already, seems the more obvious and simple way to have something appear vs. having it begin at 0% opacity (and so still clickable in the editor, which is annoying)

Guessing this isn't something we have yet? Origami Studio for example has an intuitive "enable"/"disable" property which is independent of the opacity property.

Scaling to 0 is probably better than opacity 0. That will also make it un-clickable. Still, really seems like a hide would be best.

Hide/Show Trigger/Response

The ability to toggle Layers or Component between "Hidden", and "Visible" states. Instead of changing opacity and making lower-layers touchable, being able to show/hide a layer with Triggers while having it represented in the Scene would be a tremendous value.

Enable and Disable Response

An enable and disable response to completely disable a layer without having it to make transparent, reset or move it an a way you do not see it.
