How Do You Build Walls And Roofs In Dwarf Fortress

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.

Build a wall in that spot.
