It often happens that you need to construct a wall, but your dwarf insists on standing on the wrong side of it during construction, trapping himself. It's easy to prevent:

  1. open the Designate menu (d)
  2. select Set Traffic Areas (o)
  3. press (r) to select "Restricted Traffic Area"
  4. designate the squares you don't want the dwarf to stand on.

Now, he won't stand there while building the wall. You can optionally remove the designation after the wall is built.
