Fluid box: multiple objects, resizing text box

Hi,

I am working on a project where I want the learner to tell me which version of a previous class they attended. I’ve got a fluid box that has the text to select the “Version of the course” and then buttons for “Classroom” and “Online”. For some reason, I can’t resize the box with the text “Version of the course” to make it smaller to allow the buttons to be larger. If someone could give me a hand, I’d appreciate it. I extracted the slide to attach so you can see it.

I’m still working on formatting- this is a very rough start.

Thanks in advance!

I would not use static fluid boxes, although they ma seem easy, because you could lose a lot of fluidity. Static fluid boxes have less limitations, indeed. Try previewing over multiple devices to see how it will look, you may get frustrated or not.

Hi Emily, there are a few ways you can accomplish this.

  1. Uncheck the “Maintain aspect ratio” option for each of the buttons (found in the Properties panel on the right of the stage)
  2. Set the fluid box to “Static” (also found in the Properties panel)

Keep in mind, if you set the fluid box to “Static”, you will need to be sure you set the correct Object size parameters for each of the objects in the Position window in order to maintain the responsive design. See the attached screenshots.

Best of luck!
