Ground pour priorities in digital/analog pcb - how to?

Layout

Hi
I would like to have two ground pours, one digital, one around analog components attaching to ADC uC pin.
I know how to create two separate pours, I connect them in one point using 0ohm resistor.
However, in Eagle I could use rank and the pours were behaving smartly, I got cut-ins according to rank, the pours were reaching to their pins/pads.
Can I do something like this in Kicad? Maybe there is different philosophy to handle two pours?

You can do that by adjusting the “priority” setting of the zones, see the documentation:

Thanks Andy! I was not aware of that. I will look into it very closely.
Do you have any reference, so that I could read?
My “bible” so far was this article:
Analog.com article
Also two TI articles:
part 1
part2

Thank you very much - I was simply blind :slight_smile:
