Well you probably shouldn't have drawn all those lines on the same
layer you were planning to put a plane on unless you first checked the
"new lines, arcs clear polygons" setting before drawing them. As was
pointed out previously, you can change them now by hitting the "j" key
over each track. We should probably  add the clearance flag
to the "ChangeFlag" command so this can be done enmass.
