Copper area won't fill.

I'm very new to EasyEDA and PCB design in general, in fact, this is my first time. So I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I am pulling my hair out over it. The goal of this PCB is to take the 3.3v data signals outputted from a NodeMCU, route them through two Logic Level Converters and pass the new 5v signal to some screw terminals (P7 and P5). I have all of the tracks drawn, there are no DRC errors, but I can't get the top and bottom copper areas to draw. I didn't start with a schematic, I just went straight to laying out the PCB. Attached is a screenshot showing my layout, the copper areas defined, but no copper areas drawn. Is it because I am not using a copper area as a GND plane? Thank you to anybody that takes the time to read this and offer any advice.![EasyEDA.jpg](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/RLuyEsUE1tH0PPJgTJtR7AU7cDdIOEuKistbKPXQ.jpeg)

I figured it out. For anyone who may have the same problem: I removed the ground wires and used the GND net to tie them all to ground. So the top copper layer is now all ground with tracks drawn through it.

Thank you for this info, but how did you delete the GND wires in one operation?

@janrichardbecke I CTRL+Clicked them all to select all of them then hit delete.

@janrichardbecke And then I did the same thing to select all of the ground pads and changed the net to GND. I drew a copper area and also made it a GND net. My newest design, which is just like this one but smaller and the hole spacing actually correct, has both of the copper layers as GND nets, then I used some vias to stitch them together. I also made sure not to draw any traces under the antenna, and I didn't have any copper poured under where the antenna is going to be.
