Axis Rotate Figma Plugin

Axis Rotate adds controls for rotating selected Figma layers on X, Y, and Z axes.

Figma only supports 2D affine transforms through the plugin API, so this plugin uses:

• Z axis: real 2D rotation.
• X axis: rasterized perspective rotation preview.
• Y axis: rasterized perspective rotation preview.

Use

1. In Figma, open Plugins > Development > Import plugin from manifest....
2. Select manifest.json from this folder.
3. Select one or more layers.
4. Run Axis Rotate.
5. Choose an axis, angle, and depth.
6. Click Preview to create temporary preview layers.
7. Click Apply to commit the preview, or Clear Preview to remove previews.

Notes

• X/Y output is rasterized because Figma does not expose editable 3D transforms for arbitrary layers.
• Applying X/Y keeps the original layer hidden instead of deleting it.
• Use Reset Layer to remove rotation, scaling, and tilt from selected layers while keeping each layer centered.
