It should keep the vein if the z level below is that vein.

This, when you build a wall you build both:
* a wall-tile in the current z-level and
* a floor-tile on the z-level above,
over:
* the floor-tile in the current z-level that should be the same material as
* the wall-tile in the z-level below

If you dig a wall-tile, you should be seeing the floor-tile that goes with the wall-tile 1 z-level down... so if you cast 1-z of obsidian over a clay floor and then dig the obsidian, you should be left with the clay floor, some obsidian stones and an obsidian floor in the z-above

I'm just wondering if anyone has confirmed this (3d veins) is not the case?

This might have been a bugfix for all the weird "mining through SMR" etc. shenanigans.

Even if intentional, though, this is annoying, since you can't engrave constructed floors, thus you're stuck with either solid blocks of color for your engraved floor patterns, or unengraved floors. Though I guess not particularly MORE annoying than before, I guess.

So perhaps that's actually just a separate but related issue that constructed things should be engraveable...

Something like engrave slabs, but for blocks of material. Now, there's a four step building industry. Mine rock, Make Block, Engrave Block, Build. For the true OCD, you can even make matching patterns.

This makes sense.
