split face block 3d model or limestone foundation block

Anyone know of a 3d slit face block or something I could use for this limestone foundation block?

For the Archicad documentation I would just use a composite or complex profile wall with a hatch applied to get the block size (i.e. it will just be flat but you can project it forward an inch or so from the main wall).
You will hard pressed to model a lumpy wall in Archicad unless you start playing with morphs or a mesh converted to a morph and rotated in 3D.

For the renders make sure you have a decent texture associated to the surface with bump/normal/displacement channels to make it appear lumpy.

Yes. I know how to use bump maps to get the image I want but what I am after is a 3d model. Something like this but not for $34.00 $2.00 seems like a fair price to me.
