I recently dug myself a 3z deep pit for an underground outside refuse pit.  I started on the ground level, marked out an area as ramps, waited for miners to finish ramps, removed ramps.  I then repeated this for the next 2 floors to get to the level I wanted.  I then had the miners dig over to connect the room to the rest of the floor.  I now want to clear all of the stone out of the room so that one half can be refuse and the other half a statue garden. zoo or something else pleasant.  I marked all the stone for dumping (d-b-d)  My dwarves cleaned all of the stone out of the hallway they made at the end, but no one will touch the stone in my pit. 

Some of the tiles have one stone and some have two (not sure if this makes a difference.)  Any ideas what is going wrong?  Is my problem that the stone is all considered outside?

You need to mark outdoor refuse to be gathered.  Type o-r-o.  The downside of this is that in addition to dumping the stone, your dwarves will also gather bones and remains of creatures all over the map to toss in your refuse piles.

While he is in the workshop orders menu allowing outside refuse to be hauled he can Forbid other non-hunted dead.   F-o  ( or o-F-o from root menu).  Won't work if he has bones already out there that aren't forbidden.

If that happens he can z-stocks-pgup-arrow up to bones/skulls and forbid any/all of them.

Dumped stone automatically becomes forbidden, check that the stone is not forbidden.

Thanks, that was totally it.  I turned that on and they got all the stone.  One of my dwarves went to pick up a bolt my hunter left somewhere and got himself killed though.  One does need to be careful in doing this.
