Interestingly enough that didn't work. Instead I turned off all the 
other layers, selected my nets and hit shift-j. That worked fine.

So now I've got a good ground plane (with overlapping polygons), nicely 
lined up LQFP routing and only 18 DRCs left (routing power nets too 
close to large vias, a few poorly designed footprints with annular ring 
issues, etc).

Thanks to all.
