Tutorial 1 min Published on Mar 20, 2023 ![3D can image in Figma with the digidop logo on a blue background](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67053868fc01e494462e71c9/671261909960c11eded9a04f_64760069e93084646c9ef174_628a77ed00394d715ae6f380_Open-Graph-visuel-3d-figma.png) Figma is a web design tool that offers numerous features for creating web mockups, visuals, and other designs. However, **the Figma design interface is a 2D environment**, and while some features (shadows, gradients, opacity, etc.) allow you to create volume and relief effects, **the tool is not designed for 3D**. Nevertheless, the power of Figma does not solely rely on its built-in features. Figma actually has a **vast array of plugins** that push the boundaries of your designs even further. The advantage of plugins is that they offer the functionalities of another tool while being compatible with your Figma design. Here, we will use the **Vectary 3D Elements plugin to integrate 3D visuals into Figma**. ## 1. Add the Vectary 3D Elements Plugin From the [Figma community](https://www.digidop.com/blog/how-to-join-figma-community), navigate to the [Vectary 3D Elements plugin.](https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/769588393361258724/Vectary-3D-Elements) Click "Install" to add the plugin to your Figma account.

Use only non-sensitive questions up to 1,000 characters. - **POST JSON:** https://www.digidop.com/ask with `Content-Type: application/json` and `{"query":"YOUR QUESTION"}`. - **POST text:** the same URL with `Content-Type: text/plain` and the question as the body.
