Roughness
Roughness
captures surface texture requirements extracted from the drawing. It includes values like Ra or Rz, direction symbols, and lay patterns so you can understand how smooth a surface must be. The model stores associated geometry, notes, and standards references, allowing CAM or quality teams to plan finishing operations appropriately. Structured roughness data also supports quoting and compliance processes by highlighting surfaces that require grinding, polishing, or coating to meet specifications. Confidence scores, inspection method hints, and relation to manufacturing processes are preserved as well, so you can tailor quality plans and supplier instructions for each surface and track changes across revisions effortlessly.
