Firefox had a 3D DOM inspector called Tilt. Edge DevTools had one too. Both got killed.The idea was good though. Pull the layers apart, see the structure spatially instead of reading a flat tree.

My solution was to provide an essential layer of comps that everyone can agree on.

If you duplicate the file from the Figma community: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1338456115232271694/fun...

Go to the "Getting Started" page and you will have instruction there on how to set up the Figma library. It's pretty simple. Let me know if that worked for you.

That's a great idea and exactly what I need to do next, just need to find the time :)
