Remove hidden elements

While designing, it is common to hide elements by placing them behind visible ones. These hidden elements should be removed before importing into Rocket.
Hidden elements reduce import accuracy. Rocket processes every layer it finds, so invisible elements can produce unexpected code and broken layouts.
In the example below, Rectangle 2 is hidden behind Rectangle 1. Since it will never appear on screen, it should be deleted before importing.

​
Avoid hiding with matching fills

Another common issue is hiding an element by applying the same fill as the background color. In the example below, a square box is hidden this way. This should also be avoided.

Best practice

Make hidden components visible or simply delete them. Designs with invisible elements will reduce accuracy when imported into Rocket.
