'''Smoothing''' natural walls and floors increases the [[value]] of [[room]]s. It is done by [[dwarves]] with the [[Stone detailing]] [[labor]], and it trains the [[Engraver]] [[skill]]. Smoothed floors appear as a {{Tile|+|7:0}} rather than {{Tile|.|7:0}}/{{Tile|,|7:0}}/{{Tile|`|7:0}}/{{Tile|'|7:0}}, and smoothed walls join neatly with corners, T-junctions and straight bits. A single tile of smoothed rock wall will appear as a pillar.

NOTE: Smoothing and [[engraving]] use the '''same designation''' in this version - thus, if you want an area to be smoothed but ''not'' engraved, you must take care when placing your designations.
