does a sections of walls with a floors ontop (or a roof) count as "indoors" to the dwarves?

of course the game tells you it's indoors, but does it 'mean' indoors? what i mean is, if i were to give the order for all dwarves to not go outside, would they retreat to such a place?

[Qloos]

Yes it would count as indoors, no they wouldn't retreat to such a place as it isn't underground.

[Pilsu]

Just tried it. No

[JoshuaFH]

well, will my 'ceiling' atleast protect my dwarfs from the rain?

Try it out.

This fish speaks the truth.

(edit)

Yes, as well as from blizzards and sunlight.

(edit 2)
Not that sure about sunlight, but I never saw those funny puddles of green in artificial structures like towers.

does a blizzard cause those outside to bleed to death by yellow wounds everywhere?

I just had my entire pack of dogs instantly die this way at my wagon on a glacier.

A ceiling will protect dwarves from rain and snow, but defiantly not sunlight (you can have "greenhouses" with stone roofs).  I consider that an advantage, myself.

In any case, it might help a little with temperature, but probably not much.  After all, water will freeze above ground even if it is "inside"
