Simple enough, just place a keepout on the top layer where to don't want the polygon (Place/Keepout/Fill). Keepout objects do not plot, so its not necessary to remove it after pouring the polygon.

OK I have a DDPAK component and I'm filling the top layer with a polygon.
But I don't want the polygon to fill in under the DDPAK component.



If I put a ring around the component on the "keep out" layer, it will mess
up the polygon I have on the bottom layer.  I tried putting a "No Net" ring
around the component which looks stupid.  A top layer "keep out" does the
same thing and also looks stupid.



As I see it, I have three options:



1) Redesign the DDPAK component so that there is an area of copper under the
entire body.

2) Put the ring around the DDAK component, but then erase the ring after the
polygon is purred.

3) Something very clever I'm not smart enough to invent.
