The text of the article seems to suggest that engravings and smoothing can be done on constructed walls.  In my experience, a constructed wall is described as a "Granite Block Wall" and does not accept either smoothing or engraving commands.  It also highlights with a flashing green "C" in designation mode, indicating it is constructed.  If I'm wrong, I'd love to know how to accomplish this!

Also, the article text indicates that a wall must be built above certain types of solid object.  In my experience, this is not true; you can build a wall over empty space provided you build ''beside'' an existing solid structure.  This is key when building spiral ramps within towers, etc.
