I thought I remember reading that if you re-designate the rooms that an engraved wall will count for both.

Can anyone prove this?

I use triple width walls. I started using double width walls so I could increase the value room by room, and pretty up my hallways without kicking the peasents out of their rooms. I don't like the look of double width smoothed walls, though. I think it looks nicer with a plain tile in the centre, and helps me see the smoothing/engraving as being on one side of the wall.

Not very space- or effort- efficient, but pretty.

It's also helped when I've needed to get a power or water supply through a couple of z-levels of fortress (I can hide the plumbing in the walls).

I was thinking about this, and figured out a solution: You can edit the font to make T-sections (which double walls are made of) into straight I-sections. Gives a clean double wall, but actual T-sections look a bit disjointed.
