The border of the planes should be in place before you export to freeroute. But when you come back to PCBNEW with the *.SES file, you should then re-fill all your planes (and I don't recall whether this happens automatically or not, so it is prudent to do it manually). When you say "the check", can we assume you mean PCBNEW's DRC? Or is this the ratsnest display? Dick
