uh oh.  is there a way to make it clear traces that are already laid?
i see the "clear polygons with new lines" option or whatever, but can
i cut out the path that are already on the ground plane layer?
   

My understanding is yes, you can. I heard that If you draw your traces
with the "clear polygon" option, new polygons will clear those traces.
So there must be a flag associated with your traces in your .pcb
file. Change the flag of your existing traces to reflect the "clear
polygon" option.
I haven't tried by myself, though.

Place the cursor over the track and press "j" or "J" (cant remember) to 
toggle track clearance
