Use the morphpolygon(selected) action. After that, remove the islands
manually.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change this flag in PCB: you can<br>
set it for newly created polygons (New polygons are full one).<br>
<br>
For an existing polygon, you have to find the polygon in the file<br>
(for large planes it's fairly easy) and remove the flag.<br>
<br>
However, the most serious problem IMHO is that the OpenGl interface<br>
shows all polygons as if they did not have the "fullpoly" attribu=
