This does not work in all situations; sometimes you cannot specify that you want a wall built in a certain location due to what is already built there. Specifying other structures instead of a wall may work, if any of them are permitted. You could also place a [[statue]] in the location where the dwarf isn't supposed to stand. | This does not work in all situations; sometimes you cannot specify that you want a wall built in a certain location due to what is already built there.

+ | == Building Walls in damp conditions == | ||
+ | When trying to build walls in damp conditions (such as when getting through an Aquifer in a soil layer), you need to make sure that the area to be built on *and* the area the dwarf needs to stand on to build from are at 1/7 or 0/7 when you set the order to build the wall. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the area the dwarf needs to stand on is 2/7 when the wall is designated to be built, then the dwarf will try to build the wall by standing in the space the wall will occupy, and will never complete the work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there are multiple areas, then at least one must be at 1/7, and the dwarf may ignore those which were at 2/7 or greater, even if they subsequently drop to 1/7 or dry out entirely. |
