Electronic – Altium split power plane

altiumground-planepcb-layers

The layer stack manager has created a power plane for me on which there is a default polygon pour that is the board size :

For some reason I can't do a polygon pour on that layer… I would like to have multiple power nets on the power plane, but even if I remove some of the automatically placed polygon, I still can't do a polygon pour.

How can I split my power plane to fit multiple power nets?

To split the plane you have to place lines on the plane. Place >> Line and by pressing tab you can adjust the width of the line.

The line represents places where no copper will exists. You can then double click the regions and assign different nets.

Make sure to assign colours to your nets!
