My First Dungeon WIP

So, I'm using the DD3 essentials as a walk through while I create my first dungeon. This is a single level dungeon that will probably go underneath one of my castle ruins, or maybe one of my coastal city ruins.... I haven't decided. This is just the basic floorplan so far, and is subject to change. Suggestions, comments and ideas are always most welcome!

i think with the effects on this would be lovely. (i have a tendency to not put in much of furniture except for signifcant objects, statues, altars, pillars and the like)
It's coming along, but I have run into one small issue.... all those walls in my corridors. I've tried cutting them out, using the cutting tool, but each time I hit the redraw, those walls are back. Suggestions on how to get rid of them?
Another issue cropped up, I will post the fcw tomorrow when I have Internet access again. Actually two issues. One is that I apparently may have some overlapping nodes in my cave area that didn't show up until I manipulated the floors to become walls... Not too happy with it, I may need to rethink that whole thing. In fact, I realized afterwards that what I actually wanted for my cave walls is something Lorelei did in one of her dungeons, I just have to figure out how she did it.
The second d issue is with the cave terrain fills. I wanted to use a couple of the transparent terrain fills to make my cave ground look more dirty, Sandy. So I erased the little bit I bad in that right hand cavern, and attempted to redraw it covering g most of the floor. I then attempted an inner edge fade to soften it. And it completely disappeared. I figured my edge fade was too strong and tried to change it, but my fill stayed gone. I then turned off sheets and effects completely, but it's still gone.
So I redrew it, zooming in, then zooming back out. I even went back into the sheets and deleted my edge fade... It each time.e I turned on the sheets, of zoomed back out, my terrain fill disappears. I can't figure out why. Again, I will post the fcw tomorrow.
I also made it bigger, and I made the caves bigger as well. I also remembered, after I drew the original dungeon, that there was supposed to be an underground escape route, which I had forgotten about, and didn't leave any room for, so I took that into account as well...
Andara Castle is now in ruins, but somehow the headquarters remains untouched, by the hand of man, or time.
Im not finished with it yet, but I thought you all might be interested in my progress.
I know I'm going to have a couple of traps and trap doors in there...plus a caved in escape route out of the dungeon.
The main thing to know is the Order that used this dungeon was a good organization intent on preserving knowledge for future generations, and on prtoecting the land and it's people. So a torture chamber isn't a going to work here
Any ideas?
The dungeon looks good!
I did not recognize the room on the right, I took it for a dining room (maybe the scale is too small to allow the details to show correctly). And in my opinion, it contains too much working space, and too little storage area. It would be fit for a school, but not for a temple for knowledge preservation. For instance, if you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria#Collection, you can see that even if numbers are unknown, we are talking about hundred of thousands scrolls.
