Site & Form Element Width & Height Adjustments
B
Brady Bell
It's essential to have the capability to adjust the width and height of any element, similar to how we can modify padding and margin. We should have the flexibility to set dimensions in units like pixels (PX), percentage (%), viewport width (VW), viewport height (VH), root em (REM), and em (EM).
Currently, we have to use custom code to set these values.

Please make everyones life easier and replace padding with a simple drag and drop in the area or expand an object. Feel free to reach out with any questions. This would significantly impact happiness!

Claire Rosenberg the problem arises in that everyone visiting your site is on a different sized screen. So it may have looked great to you when you dragged it to position: 630,324, but then someone else comes along on their laptop, or smartphone and your object is now offscreen because you set very specific coordinates for it to appear in.
On the web everything is in relation to other objects on the page. The logo is inside the nav bar section. The navigation links are after the logo. The 'hero' section is after the nav bar section. Etc.
Also, things are aligned using relative terms. This image is centered on the screen. The text is left aligned. Etc. For this reason, you need margins and padding to adjust positioning.
Example
I want this top section to have no margins and 48px of padding on all sides. I want the text to be vertically centered. I want a heading to appear, and then some left-aligned text 24px beneath the heading.
Drag and drop just isn't reliable when you start squeezing and stretching screen sizes and observing where those objects ended up moving to.

Maybe a loom here would be helpful here because I don't understand this, thanks!
