4-Layer Net-Tie?

Anonymous

I've got a 4-layer board with a few ground planes that I'd like to attach at a specific point with a net tie for good continuity.

 

I tried first drawing a Rect with copper since I can't assign both grounds to the same polygon. This caused both polygons to isolate back and didn't work.

 

Then I tried making a typical 2-terminal new device with 2 pads connected by copper in the device footprint. This worked on layer 1. I figure I can do the same on the bottom layer with a bottom SMD that has no stop/cream as well. But that doesn't do anything for the inner two layers.

 

Any idea if there's a way to do this?

Never mind, I found it on another forum Jorge posted up. I made both ground pours the same rank, have them overlapping on all layers at the correct place, and then accept the DRC warnings.
