Can't detail constructed walls or floors
« on: November 10, 2007, 12:08:00 pm »

Walls and floors constructed by masons are treated quite differently from natural stone walls and floors.  Not only can anyone deconstruct them, but they also can't be detailed or engraved.

That's not a bug.

At least, it's not something Toady hasn't planned, it's just how they currently work.

For me, the only things I'd like changed about them are being able to designate width/breadth of walls/floors to construct, dwarves building them in one diagonal (either diagonal in same plane, or adjacent in adjacent plane), and eventually being able to decorate them with preengraved blocks/panels.

Personally I like the idea of images engraved in a metal wall. It's an idea  :p
