detallar / dibujar las caras redondeadas


Explanation:
Si el tema es acerca de gemas, entonces la escala de trabajo se reduce precisamente a una pieza de joyería. En este caso, resulta claro que están hablando de hacer un dibujo a escala (mapear no creo que sea el término adecuado, en español) o detallar las caras redondeadas (boulder) y medir las rebabas (hangups) en esa pieza.

Creo que a boulder le dan aquí el sentido de "salientes boludas" en la gema, pero creo que no sería muy afortunado traducirlo así

Suerte de todos modos...
