Hi Andy,

I have just checked, and apparently it is not a GAL issue. To have a
zone filled, one needs a pad or via placed in the zone area. The
intention is to avoid creating unconnected islands of copper.

Orson

In Legacy canvas, the pours on this layer show as whatever is specified by the Outline Style (Line, Hatched, Fully Hatched) but it is not showing a solid fill. The three Zone Fill buttons on the left-hand toolbar do nothing on this layer, too.
