yes, you can engrave dwarf made walls. 

Though, here's an idea that sounds even more dwarfy:

a glass room SURROUNDED by magma.  There will be a small entrance chamber sided with gold statues, leading to a magma chamber.

my experience suggests otherwise. are there any conditions? do you designate it the same way you would with natural walls?

Mmmm... yeah, not so much...

I believe there is a way to put up stone walls, flood the chamber with magma, which melts the stone into a solid mass, and then carve it out again (might take double-thick walls?) - that would work, but it pushes this into the mini-mega project category.

make the lava 3ish levels tall, build pumps/power system out of magma safe material, and pressurize the room with it.

(Does it work on floors, then? I coulda sworn I'd heard about this tactic somewhere... could be wrong. Dunno now.)

Magma will simply destroy engravings on floors, last time I checked. Not melt block walls or floors.

171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.
