Currently you can build workshops on top of floors but not walls and presumably other items.
This seems counterintuitive and illogical - if you can build on soft clay, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to build on top of a paved road or hand-made floor.

Are you positive? Last time I played I built workshops on the wooden floor I layed down just fine.

Is your title wrong, or your post?  Your post says you CAN build on floors, but not on top of walls.  It would make sense to me that you need flat floor to build on.  It would make sense to build on paved roads too, well it should be possible anyways.  I do get annoyed that I can't construct walls on top of built floors.

Hate to break it to ya, but "Build paved road" != "build floor in wide area".

Building workshops on roads does not make sense to me at all.  Roads are meant to serve as clear sections of ground where people and things can move freely without any obstacles.  Sure the ASCII graphics make them look like floors, but to the dwarves (and in real-life) a road is different from a solid foundation.

I think what Align meant to say was that you can build workshops and such on built floors, but you can't build walls on built floors.

Title, forgot to change it after I rethought the post..

Then they ought to be represented differently.

That too.

I can see why it is this way (programming issues; both walls and floors are Constructions, and roads are Buildings), but if it's possible to get around, that'd be swell. Perhaps by simply turning floored squares into smoothed cavern floor squares once finished. They're not quite the same thing but it'd get around the "2 constructions in the same square" problem.
