Is it that some people just don't know how to search for something on the Internet, are they lazy, or do they genuinely not have a clue?
In this case the OP was the one that used the words "Lock Block". That seems pretty specific to me. He couldn't just do a search on that?
Peeps! Show some initiative. Thanks, and have a sparkling day.

I'm willing to bet you haven't gotten very far with this have you?
UltraBlock Inc. makes something they call the Lock-Block Retaining Wall System. I've provided a link to the site below. When you get to their home page click on the tab labeled "Design/Engineering". In the drop down menu select "Design manual/Software". At the next page look to the right. Click on the button labeled "Download Design Software". This will download a 11MB file called Ultrawall.msi which should be enough to get you started.
http://www.ultrablock.com/
But the very best part is if you click on "Downloads" under the same tab. There you will get the opportunity to download CAD drawings and/or PDF files.
Is that freakin' amazing or what?
And you know how I found UltraBlock? I did a search on manufacturer names for retaining walls. Funny how that worked out isn't it? I followed my own advice (the same advice I gave you as a matter of fact).
Have fun!

How important would the name be if the manufacturer made 2D and/or 3D blocks of their product available for free download from their website?
Creating your own is an option too.

You must have a manufacturer's name don't you?

Hi there, yes but use in industrial or commercial retaining wall. The lock block weights about 4400 lbs for basic lego block. I used to have 3D blocks for jersey barricades and 4 different lock-block sizes but my hard drive crapped out on me

Lock-blocks like those used to build a retaining wall?

Hey there,
I'm wondering if some has some 3d blocks of Lock-blocks or knows where I can locate some. I have Jersey blocks but need to use a Lock-block system. Thanks
