&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Smoothing''' natural [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s will increase the value of [[rooms]] and change their appearance to that of rooms with constructed walls and floors.  It is done by [[dwarves]] with the [[Stone Detailing]] skill.&lt;br /&gt;
A smooth surface is also needed if you wish to [[engrave]] to further increase the room's value, or to carve a [[Fortification|fortification]]. Smoothed walls look similar to manually constructed [[wall]]s and they join neatly with corners, t-junctions and straight bits. A single smoothed rock will appear as a pillar until joined to adjacent walls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Smoothing an area ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Press {{K|d}} to open the designate menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Press {{K|s}} to select &amp;quot;Smooth Stone&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and press {{K|enter}}.&lt;br /&gt;
# The spot you marked changes to a blinking green &amp;quot;+&amp;quot; indicating where the area you wish to smooth extends from.&lt;br /&gt;
# Move the cursor to any position, across the area you wish to smooth and then press {{K|enter}} again.&lt;br /&gt;
# The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink with a white regular pattern.&lt;br /&gt;
# Wait for a [[dwarf]] with the [[Stone Detailing]] skill to smooth the [[stone]] on the walls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Note ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot smooth [[soil]], such as silt, clay, loam, peat or [[sand]].  However, unlike previous versions, metal [[ores]] and other [[Gem|valuable stones]] can be smoothed.&lt;br /&gt;
*Smoothing a muddy floor will remove the [[mud]] - it is therefore a bad idea to smooth your [[underground]] [[farm]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Smoothing a stone [[aquifer]] wall will cause it to stop leaking [[water]].&lt;br /&gt;
