The twilight zones?

I’m creating quite a simple layout and added a nice copper fill… no problem… then I tried to add another for the other side… I kept having trouble closing the closed shape so as a newbie I experimented by adding a few odd shapes… then I tidied up by deleting them.

However on 3D view they still seem to be there… or something is as I get yellow outlines… this makes me worry for my manufacturing files later.

Please advise… how can I enumerate and delete all my filled zones even when they appear invisible?

Have you re-filled the zones by pressing B?

Yeap. And I have “Showed Filled areas in zones checked” but I have no fills.

I added a board outline and changed the 3D model of my DIP to make it look more realistic… still same issue… I might try and write a script to delete all filled

zones.

Ah. My Bad. I had B.Cu turned invisible… I have found my earlier handiwork… this should fix it!

Thanks

A happy ending. That also explains why when drawing the filled zones they disappeared on the final click. :slight_smile:

It might be a good idea if KiCad would turn on the visibility of a layer that the user draws on.
