Hi, guys! Question here! 

Is there any posibility to use the tiletypes in DFHack to paint void? I mean, to make a single square disappear? I built a moat and there is one single block that wasn't channeled. Yeah, i know, hard OCD, but you know...

By far the best reason to use tiletypes. 

This works for me, italics indicate commands typed in console:

- move the cursor to the offending tile
- enter tiletypes in dfhack console
- paint material air
- paint shape empty
- run
- quit tiletypes (not strictly needed but good form)
- enjoy the improved moat

The last point is the most important. 

Edit: although thinking about it, if that tile is meant to be on the bottom level of your moat (for unchanneled to make sense) you would be better of replacing the tile with a floor.  If that's the case a simple paint shape floor, run is all that should be required. If you want a rough floor also use paint special normal before running otherwise you will end up with the smoothed version.

(The material should by default be that of the current layer, if it is incorrect just specify the material you want.)

Many, many thanks! It really worked to eliminate the downward slops of the previous channeling... but a floating stone remains there now, hahaha! Any recomendation? Just to be picky, coz now that the slope is gone, I don't think falling creatures will stand in the floating stone, idk.

You can move or delete it with autodump.

It's floating in the void.

Autodump is another dfhack command (plugin, technically).  Easy use here: select the stone and order it dumped (make sure nothing else is selected for dumping) then run in the console
autodump destroy
...and no more floating stone.

(make sure nothing else is selected for dumping)

Or use autodump-destroy-here (Ctrl+Shift+K) to limit it to the selected tile.
