Hi everyone,  New-ish player here.

I have a question about removing constructions.  I've built some walls and floors on top of and off of other walls, but when i try to designate them for removal with d - n, I'm unable to select them.  Other wall or floor sections flash green Cs, but some of the sections don't and can't be removed.  I'm assuming this has been seen before and that I haven't stumbled upon a bug this early in my playing of the game.  What is the problem likely to be?

Likely is, that the floors you are trying to designate for removal, are actually walls one Z-level down. They look alike.

Edit: Try removing the walls instead, and the floors above should disappear also. (If this is the case)

This is happening with walls as well, though.

Can we get a screenshot?

Here it is.  it's flashing back and forth from the shot on the left and right. the bits of wall and floor that aren't flashing green won't let me remove them.  The floor bits are not the top of walls underneath, but there is open space beneath them.
edit: the image isn't displaying right. here's a link. http://i.imgur.com/C5qlO.jpg

Are the parts you can't remove engraved/smoothed or built?

It looks like the problems start, when the soil (one color) ends and solid stone (several colors) starts. (You can't engrave/smooth soil)

ah! that's it! thanks!
