When populating AI-generated components in Figma Weave, using icon library extensions like Iconify, Feather Icons, or Material Symbols can occasionally result in broken bounding boxes, unhandled script exceptions, or unresponsive plugin windows. This guide explains how to restore reliable icon plugin integration.
Quick checks
- Check if the entire canvas is locked due to an active generation task.
- Confirm if Figma Weave is down or unreachable before editing frame structures.
- Ensure the icon plugin you are using outputs native vector paths rather than rasterized bitmap images.
- Place icons outside active Weave frames
Injecting raw vector assets directly inside an active Weave auto-layout node can break spatial layout engine calculations. Drag and drop icons onto a blank area of the canvas first, then drag them manually into the Weave layout.
- Ungroup multi-level icon wrappers
Third-party icon plugins frequently wrap SVG vectors in multiple nested groups or component frames that conflict with Weave smart layout constraints. Select the inserted icon, press `Cmd + Shift + G` / `Ctrl + Shift + G` to ungroup, and flatten redundant layers.
- Reset plugin window permissions
If the icon plugin modal remains unresponsive while Weave is active, close the Weave interface, navigate to Plugins > Manage plugins, and toggle permissions for the icon extension.
- Ensure Weave generation cycle is complete
Attempting to modify layer hierarchies while Weave is actively processing prompts will cause script execution collisions. If your canvas appears frozen during generation, check our guide for when Figma Weave is not generating to reset the rendering loop.
Still stuck?
If icon plugins continue to crash or disappear from your toolbar during AI layout sessions, check whether Weave itself has been unlinked from your account workspace.
