I was having some fun with ice and managed to freeze cyrogenically store some dorfs. While attempting to retrieve their corpses preserved bodies, I had some more fun and now have to do some slabbing.

The issue I've run into is that I have more slabs than engraved slabs. I built a nice room for my dorfs to laugh at mourn their brethren, but I can't find the best way to place the engraved slabs without also placing unengraved slabs. I came up with z-stocks-tab-forbid, but I'm wondering if there is a less tiresome more elegant way.

Thanks.

I block all stockpiles from accepting slabs, and place the engraving workshops closer than the mason's. That way, the engraved slabs are always first on the list when I expand it.

press x to extend list of specific building materials, in this case individual slabs, with engraved ones being named, instead of Granite Slab (36).

Yeah, this. Also helps with putting slabs dedicated to forgotten beasts in the barracks of the squads which killed them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I never knew that was possible. I am now stunned by science.

Same thing for plenty of build menus, including the list for what goes into a weapon trap - want to pick only the masterful serrated green glass disks? Expand the list to pick 'em.
