If you have added SVG code to your Webflow project and it is not animating as expected, there could be a few reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to figure out the issue:

Check if the SVG code is correct: Double-check that the SVG code you have added to Webflow is valid and error-free. Make sure that all the required SVG elements and attributes are included and properly structured.
Confirm that the SVG animation is supported by Webflow: Webflow has certain limitations when it comes to SVG animations. Not all types of animations are supported, so ensure that the animation you are trying to achieve is compatible with Webflow.
Check the CSS animation properties: SVG animations are typically controlled using CSS animation properties. Confirm that you have defined the necessary CSS animation properties such as animation-name, animation-duration, and animation-timing-function for your SVG elements.
Review element properties in Webflow: Verify that you have correctly set up the relevant properties for your SVG elements within Webflow. For example, if you are using interactions or animations within Webflow to control the SVG animation, ensure that you have correctly assigned the appropriate interactions or animations to the SVG elements.
Test in different browsers: Some SVG animations may work differently or experience issues in different browsers. Test your SVG animation in different browsers to see if the issue persists across multiple platforms.
Check your interactions/animations timeline: If you are using interactions or animations within Webflow, inspect the timeline to make sure that the SVG animation is properly sequenced and timed. Adjust the timing and durations as needed to achieve the desired effect.
Test the SVG code outside of Webflow: To rule out any issues specific to Webflow, try testing your SVG code outside of the Webflow environment. You can create a simple HTML file and add the SVG code to see if it animates as expected. If it does, then the issue may be related to how the SVG code is integrated or used within Webflow.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and identify the reasons why the SVG code you added to Webflow is not animating. Remember to test and iterate until you achieve the desired animation effect.
