Can someone explain to me what the "Internal" setting on doors does?

When designating a room (like from a bed or chair or statue etc) non-internal doors will stop the fill, if you set them to internal they will not.

External doors will act much like a wall when designing rooms. That means that an external door will not be counted in the room value, so setting artifact doors to internal might be a good idea.

Wagawaga: I'd have to dispute that. In one of my forts, I put an artifact door in my dining room and it bumped it to Royal (from Grand) without being set as internal. However, the door wasn't at the border of the room; it was its own little isthmus, so that may have been a factor.

Hm, I recall someone proving that on another thread. I'm trying right now with the artifact door I got just now. Too bad I can't see room value since I got no economy.
