Connect Only the bottom components' Ground pins using fanout

I have components on top and bottom of my PCB, I made a copper pour on top layer and the top components GND pins connected automatically. Now I wanted to connect the bottom components' GND pins using fanout, but the tool creates vias for all GND pins for top (already connected to the pour) and bottom. What can I do to automatically create vias for bottom GND pins components only without creating vias for top components too?

Hi! We don't have the ability yet to restrict the fanout like this, but you can try to use the "fanout" command (Quick Route > Fanout) or type FANOUT in the command line in "signal" mode which allows you to click on each signal you want to fanout individually. This will allow you to fanout only the ones you want by clicking on an an element of that signal (e.g. airwire).
