OpenElement workspace and preview issue

Hello,

I am following a tutorial to learn how to use Openelement
But the thing is, I am doing what they explain, but it doesn't work for me like it does in the tutorial
Let me explain: they tell me to put a frame on the background and then change the size of the frame and then create menus within the frame, but when I preview it, everything is misaligned. The menus are outside the frame whereas in my workspace they are inside.... Moreover, the tutorial says that at the bottom of the workspace there are the pixel sizes of the page, but I do not have that!
I’m giving you the link to the tutorial if you can help me please
because I can't get the preview to match what I have in the workspace, which is very frustrating!

Thank you

Hello

Having tried Open Element for a while a year and a half ago, I eventually gave up because, contrary to what is highlighted, it is far from being as simple as in the presentations, even though I already had a background in this area.

What I mean by that is that the tutorials are not updated (but on a "positive" note, the software evolves), and therefore you often find yourself quite lost.

However, I recommend that you sign up for their forum. The forum is relatively active, run by the key players or regulars, and I have rarely waited more than 24 hours before receiving a response.
(Not necessarily an easy-to-understand response, but they will help you, that's for sure.)

This will probably be more effective than here.

Best regards

Thank you very much for your response. Indeed, there's a problem there because I don't have the same page as them for the tutorials; they must have changed something...
It seemed simple like that, but indeed, it's not that simple...
Thank you, I will look into what you told me ;)
