Sanity check: can I select a figma component set and have Plasmic recognize each variant?

Plasmic Studio Questions

I have a component set that I have selected, then used figma-to-code. My expectation was that if I paste it, that it could recognize the different variants. I made sure my component variants were set up with properites beforehand.

What is happening (and I have tried a few methods):

Attempt 1: I start new component, I paste. It is one big box with all the variants but doesn’t split them into their own components.
Attempt 2: I paste into the base then right click and select create component. Still just one big frame
Attempt 3: Select each component then use figma-to-code to import them.

Does it even work where it just makes multiple components from one import or will I have to manually make each variant?

Hi Lisa @lisa_lessenger !
Can you send some visuals and maybe a simple way to reproduce what you’re trying to achieve?

if i understood the use case is to create let’s say a button, and have multiple variants of it (colors, for example) in figma. Then you export it to Plasmic, and want importer to parse those different states of the component as variants, right?
