The v2.7 figma components have a container width of 1312px

At a glance

The community member raised an issue where the container width in Figma (1312px) differs from the container width in Webflow (1280px), causing their Relume wireframes/designs to not match the actual site build. This requires manually updating the padding in Figma from 64px to 80px, which is not a major issue but still an inconvenience. Other community members acknowledged the problem and discussed the potential benefits of having the container widths match, as well as the challenges of implementing such a change given the team's limited resources. However, there was no explicitly marked answer provided.

Hey #C02MS2V0FSP - The v2.7 Figma components have a container width of 1312px (section having 64px left/right padding in 1440px wide sections).

However, in Webflow components, the container width is 1280px - which means our Relume wireframes/designs aren't true to the widths when building out the site...

So we have to manually update every section from 64px side padding to 80px in Figma - which isn't a massive deal, but an issue

hmm yeah, I'll take a look at this. Thanks for raising this issue!

What would you say is the biggest gain from having both figma and webflow containers be the same?

Although it's a small difference, there are instances where we've needed to update graphics/elements as they didn't quite for the space available in a 1312px container

I can add this to the roadmap but I honestly am not sure we'd ever get to this. It would be a massive update to do. Being that the final result in Webflow is responsive, it feels like there might be something else going on here. May be a tweak in a process or setting different expectations or something, not entirely sure. If this were a more widely voiced issue, I could see us bumping this up but we are a bit thin on resources as our new hires won't be starting until after the new year.

Yea, completely understandable, I just thought I'd raise it as it's something our dev team have expressed a few times when we get to the build stage
