    Also check out the Cultured Stone materials folder, which has many such materials.

    I depends on what you mean when you say "import a cottage block wall into my plans". Import as picture, make a cottage block wall or what?

    I don't know what product/version of the software you are using but if you go to Help and enter Materials to Library in the search field you may get something like the attached.

    Is this what you are talking about?

    I have attached two pictures. Are you talking about a retaining wall?

    Most are guessing what your term means. You may find that building terms are like nicknames and specific to each locality. The terminology is mostly coined locally, it would seem.

    Most of us are guessing what the real question is.

    Windsor stone is also a registered trade mark here in the US. Used it on a large project here (several retaining walls) in the Memphis area. (Fed Ex world HQ's). Here is a web site link: http://www.pavestone.com/retail/wall...r-windsor.html Sorry, I forgot to include this link for the "cottage" wall type material. http://www.anchorwall.com/
