[Urist McVoyager]

A built fortification retains a floor on the BOTTOM. The top's irrelevant for this outside of fliers and suicidal crossbow dwarves.

A built fortification retains a floor on the BOTTOM. The top's irrelevant for this outside of fliers and suicidal crossbow dwarves.

My understanding is that all dwarves are suicidal in the current version, at least after they've had a drink.  You want to prevent your civilians from deciding to join in the fun, presumably.  (Or maybe you don't.  But if you do, then you need to physically stop them from climbing over the fortifications and dropping down into the action.  Ergo, the ceiling over the fortifications.)

All windows and fortifications are transparent.  All walls and floors are opaque.  The material is irrelevant.  I believe that grates (both kinds) are transparent as well, but my experience with grates is pretty limited.

Dwarves will not sit in chairs unless they are performing a job that uses a chair (Eat, Update Records).  At all other times, they are standing up, or lying down, or in a transitional state between those two (e.g. just got kicked and hasn't fallen all the way to the ground yet).  Hell, for all I know, they may perform the chair-related jobs by standing on the chair.  Of course, this doesn't stop you from installing a bunch of chairs in the meeting zone and pretending they're being sat in.  If nothing else, the dwarves can admire the fine +chair+s as they mill around.

Ok, so will something like this work
___rooooooooof______
_hg.................gh____
_hgF________Fgh____

_ - floor
. - space
h - chair
g - window
F - fortification

this is what I'm going to do
cccccccccccccccc
cggggggggggggc
cgFFFFFFFFFFFgc
cgF######Fgc
cgF######Fgc
cgF######Fgc
cgF######Fgc
cgFFFFFFFFFFFgc
cggggggggggggc
cccccccccccccccc

# = open space or floor
c = chair
g= glass
F = Fortification
building destroyer can destroy glass, but not fortifications so layer of fortifications.however stuff can shoot through fortifications but not glass, so layer of glass
finally a roof over it to prevent flyers from escaping and creatures climbing over

That's the same like my design but my is sideways

I suggest a dinner theatre kind of setup. Set up tables and chairs all about the coliseum, and let them enjoy whilst they sup.
