 We see everything is okay we can proceed and whenever in doubt recheck the 3D model for a better intuitive oversight.
+While still in the sam grid press Ctrl + Shift  + Z or the icon on the right taskbar "Added filled zone".

+Select the B.Cu or bottom layer, select the GND net, you can name your zone GND, and leave the other settings the same but change the clearance to 1 mm like so.
+Press B to fill the filled zone and Ctrl + B to unfill. Or alternatively, use the icons on the left taskbar to edit visibility.
+On to top left click "Track" and then Edit pre defined sizes. Add 0.3mm and 0.7mm and press okay.

+Important note:
+Manufacturing capabilities can be found on the manufacturers websites, that includes tracks sizes clearances and so on.
+In the university we can produce only significantly larger track sizes with with 0.8 / 0.7 mm minimum as well as to keep in mind that THT components pads are not connected internally.
