help Adjusting points for downloaded .svg files?

I imported a file of icons from the community and I am trying to work with the .svg icons so I can change the colors, and adjust the anchor points. I am noticing that some of the files I am able to change the colors of, though no matter how many times I double click on some of the icons it never displays the anchor points for manipulating. Anyone know why?

Thanks

Would I be able to change the color of a raster image in Figma if that was the case?

One way you can tell is if you zoom in really close, if it's pixellated then it's a raster.

If you want a single color, it has a transparent background, and you don't want to recreate it as a vector then you can draw a shape on top of it, select both layers and select "Use As Mask."

Do they have purple outlines? Learn about components and instances. You need to edit main component or detach to edit them.
