Hello everyone,  
I’ve been having an issue with the [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) plugin on Figma. When I try exporting my design to code it starts loading, gets up to “generating code” and then after some time brings me back to the “Export Design” page where I started. I noticed that another user had this problem not long ago and had their issue resolved so I thought I would also make a post since I haven’t been able to fix it myself.

Some things to note are that the design was copied from a website using the htmltodesign extension and imported into Figma, and that I’ve used auto layout for the majority of the layers but some might be missing it.

I created a copy of my document and a link to the original post I found which are attached below. I’m fairly new to Figma and [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) so I apologize for any information that I may be leaving out. Any help would be great, thank you!
