Corner radius and smoothing in Figma - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Corner radius and smoothing

Dashboard Goal

Understand how adjusting corner radius and smoothing affects the look of shapes in a design dashboard.

Sample Data: Shape Properties

Shape	Width (px)	Height (px)	Corner Radius (px)	Smoothing (%)
Rectangle A	120	80	0	0
Rectangle B	120	80	20	0
Rectangle C	120	80	20	50
Rectangle D	120	80	40	100
Rectangle E	120	80	60	100

Dashboard Components

• KPI Cards: Show numeric values of Corner Radius and Smoothing for selected shape.
• Shape Preview Panel: Visual display of the rectangle shape with applied corner radius and smoothing.
• Shape Properties Table: Lists all shapes with their width, height, corner radius, and smoothing values.

Formulas/Expressions

• Selected Corner Radius = SELECTEDVALUE(Shapes[Corner Radius (px)])
• Selected Smoothing = SELECTEDVALUE(Shapes[Smoothing (%)])

Interactivity

User selects a shape from the Shape Properties Table. This selection updates:

• The KPI Cards to show the corner radius and smoothing values of the selected shape.
• The Shape Preview Panel to visually display the shape with the selected corner radius and smoothing applied.

Self Check

If you select Rectangle C in the Shape Properties Table, what values appear in the KPI cards and how does the shape preview change?

Answer: The KPI cards show Corner Radius = 20 px and Smoothing = 50%. The shape preview displays a rectangle with moderately rounded corners and smoothing applied, making the corners appear softer.

Key Result

Dashboard shows how corner radius and smoothing values affect rectangle shapes visually and numerically.
