Via Stitching places 0 vias

[n8ur]

I have a 4-layer board with 3 layers having ground pour and one layer having Vcc pour. I am trying to stitch ground vias and no matter what settings I try ViaStitching returns successfully but reports placing 0 vias. I have other boards where stitching works properly, so it must be something about the board settings for this board. I've tried various clearances and hold/via sizes but nothing changes the result.

Any suggestion what I should be looking for?

I've updated the plugin to KiCAD 8 here: https://github.com/jmole/viastitching/tree/master which includes some fixes to multi-layer polygons.

give it a try if you have some time and let me know if you still have the issue
