Hi

Yes it sounds about right.

You select the "Obstacle Tool". Draw your copper area. Then selct the "Obstacle Type" as copper pour. The "Obstacle Layer" is chosen to the wanted layer.

If you want it attached to a certain(like GND) net then you need to assign it under the "Net attachment" scroll-down just below the other settings.
