Hi,
I have define the inner planes to be spilt/mixed plane.
I have created the spilt/mixed plane by selecting the board outline for the main gnd, I use the plane area to create the other gnd plane (agnd, vid-gnd etc). After creating all the gnd area, I did a plane connect but only the gnd is flooded but not the rest of the other gnd planes(agnd,vid-gnd etc).
What did I missed out?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
PL

The only reason why some planes pour and some do not is due to a setting in Setup / Preferences / Split/Mixed Plane / Remove Isolated Pour. If you do not have any through holes to connect to this plane split, it will not pour due to a "No Connect". You must put a via or a through hole through the board in order for the plane to flood or turn off Setup / Preferences / Split/Mixed Plane / Remove Isolated Pour.

Are you saying you created subplanes inside the main ground plane? Or are you saying you used the main plane to create additional plane layers?
