0006188: Engraving on block floor and open space.
While engraving fortifications on above ground constructed basalt block walls, I removed on of the walls before the engraving was made. This is what probably resulted in the engraving. Originally it was on a block floor from the wall below. After removing the wall below, it remained and is now an engraving on open space. Building a wall on top of the engraving does not remove it.
No tags attached.

Engraving on constructed walls and floors is not possible. If you were able to designate any sort of smoothing, engraving or fortifications then it was certainly a natural wall. Could you clarify your report?

No, you can designate constructed walls for fortifications (and only fortifications), I'm pretty sure. The bug seems to be that getting rid of a wall scheduled for carving doesn't clear the designation, so the dwarf then carves 'fortifications' into a wall that isn't actually a wall anymore, causing odd behaviour.

E: Is the engraving actually *of* something? Can you look at it and see a proper description?

When looking at the tile it just says basalt block floor (or open space after I removed the wall beneath it). When I hit enter, it says that it's an "exceptional Erush Öntakadil rendition of a well-designed image of a baguette cut gem. The image is the symbol of The Craterous Tongs, a dwarven civilization." It behaves like an engraving and is hidden when designated so, but like I said, it doesn't get removed when a wall's built on top of it.

I was going for just a relationship with 0003805, but on second look, this is a duplicate.
