Ignore Islands in ground plane on middle layer

Hi, I can't find an option for this. If I put many vias next to each other, i get small islands in between them. Usually not a problem, but when using a ground plane on a 4 layer PCB, there is no option to ignore island or can i simply not find it? Any way to tell the DRC to ignore this layer? Thanks.

Are you assigning the inner layers as Plane or as Signal layers? If you assign them as Signal and place your own Copper Areas then the Keep Islands Y/N option should be available as it is for Top and Bottom layers.

Yes that works, but when I add a via it always conflicts with that layer (yellow cross). I can't easily tell if it's just the GND layer or an actual problem with a trace or something.

You probably have to assign the GND Plane layer as Signal and manually place a GND Copper Area instead.

"I can't easily tell if it's just the GND layer or an actual problem with a trace or something." The information in the left hand panel of the PCB Design Manager should tell you when you select the DRC error/warning.

Ok, so I understand there is no option to ignore islands when a layer is set to plane. "The information in the left hand panel of the PCB Design Manager should tell you when you select the DRC error/warning" Maybe I was not clear enough. I'm looking at the yellow cross on my via and move the via until there is no cross. I don't click on DRC or check the design manager every time I move a via ever so slightly. I will continue simply disabling the ground layer until my PCBs are done and check it last. Thank you all for your time.
