Ground plane

Hi there, New to PCB designs, new to EasyEDA. I'd like to know if it's possible and how to design a ground plane on a PCB using EasyEDA. I don't know if it's the correct term, but here is an example image. I'm trying to adapt a drill on my 3D printer, and instead of "scratching" 70% of the board to remove the copper, I prefer to only outline the traces, it will save me time. Thanks. ![ground-plane](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/a9XS7vsx6src5PU911IVSOYhqPmmebJQK4N1Juf9.png)

[https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Copper-Pour/index.html](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/Copper-Pour/index.html) Why not just design the board in EasyEDA and then order low cost, professional quality PCBs with proper through-plated holes, solder mask and silkscreen directly through EasyEDA?

@andyfierman Indeed, ordering through EasyEDA is a great option. Currently, it's the first time I'm designing PCBs and I'm trying to make the prototypes myself. Ordering through EasyEDA would make me order 5 pieces minimum, right? Even if 10$ isn't too much for a start, 5 pieces of something I only need one. But when the prototypes are done, I could make use of multiple PCBs, well printed and good quality. Thanks for the reply !
