Increasing distance between traces and planes.

I am trying to increase the distance between planes and traces, and anything I seem to try doesn't work. I have messed with settings in the constraint manager and nothing seems to change in the way I am looking for. Sometimes when messing with settings it seems to create new traces that are narrower than the ones in the picture, below the traces. Any help is appreciated.

    That isn't a plane, that's a dynamic copper shape.

    Under Constraint Manager, Spacing Const Set, All Layers>  Shape>  [Shape To] Line>, increase that number for all global net settings.
