Note that this can only be done with natural stone — soil cannot be smoothed, and [[construction]]s are already considered to be smooth for most purposes. |

This increases the room value even more, but, unlike smoothing, engraving has quality levels and thus should be performed only by skilled [[engraver]]s. Thus, it is recommended to have a limited number of dwarves with the [[Engraver|Stone Detailing]] labour active, smooth large areas of the fortress, and then have those same dwarves engrave. The result will be [[Legendary|high-quality]] engravings. |
