My current fort "CanyonCastle" Has a lot added to it since last time I posted it, sadly I am waiting on Scrapa since I don't have the VIS program (I'm on a Mac)

Here's a couple screens of the above-ground portion of a fort I've been working on.  It guards an underground cave city (which, sadly, doesn't look very good in visualizer)

Looks very good :)

Thanks!  I made those walls extra thick, sort of like

which was actually easier (for me at least) than making a narrower wall would have been, since there was no need for scaffolding or anything like that.

It turns out volcanoes near ocean coasts make very high and steep mountains.

The magma vent is only 3 levels above the water, so I was thinking of pumping it up 13 levels and flooding everything up to this point.

Here's the view from underneath because I thought it looked cool. Is that bauxite? I hope it's bauxite!

Oh, everyone's doing it.

This fort was meant to be a simple structure where my dwarves could survive until they had fought their way up the chain of creatures from Relentless Assault, Civforge, and my own personal modding combined. However, due to certain bugs in Relentless Assault, some of the races failed to come, and in my boredom I expanded on it.

The thing you see coming off the tower is the Glass City. I started it because my warriors were killing the enemies with ease and I had to do something with my hordes of useless peasants. It's unfinished because I finally ended the fort by unleashing a megabeast with size 200, Speed:0, flight, and fire breath upon the fort. You may notice some missing tables in chairs in the dining hall; that's because of the megabeast's rampage.

Oh, and the random long platform going off the edge of the picture in the last picture is the execution platform. It had been used three times on uncooperative nobles.

I just downloaded the latest version and noticed some problems:
-I can't seem to zoom.  There is nothing about zooming in in the readme, and none of the keys I'd expect to allow zooming do so.
-when i hit the 'w' key, it moves me forward along the XY axis, rather than ahead of the camera view.  In other words, if the camera is looking down, instead of zooming I go sideways.  I think this (the way it used to work) is how I used to zoom with earlier versions.
-If I'm not mistaken, walls used to be just as wide as they are tall.  Not so now.  Some of my structures look oddly stretched along the z-axis because walls are taller than they are wide.

When you click 'Dump from Dwarf Fortress,' that little window that pops up allows you to set block width/length and height. I personally use 5x5x6.67, but it's up to you. You can get whatever slopes you like. Can't help with the other problems, though.

Okay, that was the main problem.  I can (sort of) work around the others, they're just tricky.
