UI to view vertical slices
« on: March 01, 2013, 10:41:58 pm »
Building vertical structures can be a pain. It would be nice to be able to flick the UI so that it shows avertiacl slice of the fortress - north/south or east/west.

For the moment, you can visualize them if you use the DF Map Archive. Or Stonesense for an isometric view. Neither works directly for building though.

I wonder if it might be possible to have a switchable option that shows the current layer and anything below it obscured by empty spaces. Perhaps an option to also treat undug stone surrounded by other undug stone as transparent.
