SMT Components and Ground Planes

Hello! I am starting to transition from all THT to include some SMT components . I have a GND plane in my project and I can see in the PCB editor how THT holes that are tied to GND are connected to the GNC plane. (There is what looks like a + behind the hole) ![Capture.JPG](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/fMyDPlbUHqm4JSE8SJs9JzdGjN0Y4Dm3LAeqkWgV.jpeg) All of my THT projects work great with this in mind. however - now that I would like to add an SMT component, I do not see any visual representation of how the GND pads are connected to the GND plane. When I use auto-route, EasyEDA does not present any errors, but I don't see anything visually that would make me think the ground plane is getting tapped into. I also do not see any vias that could be used for this purpose. When I hover - the SMT pad turns white - along with the other GND pads. ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/xWCYXnWajQD8I4Z4m4xIfk6ufq3ANHHeTRhDm0OU.png) How does EasyEDA handle connecting am SMT component's GND pads to a GND plane? Must this process be done manually? Must I add vias? Or - is it working - and I just can't see it? Thanks! Jason

The plane has to be on the same layer as the pads or you need to add a short track from the pad to a via to connect to a plane on another layer.
