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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.
