About this asset

This rectangular gabion wall block Revit family features a stone-filled wire mesh cage, ideal for landscape retaining structures. The gabion block consists of a standard rectangular wire mesh cage filled with angular stone aggregate. The design mimics a modular construction element, featuring a visible grid of steel wiring that contains the rubble infill. The texture provides a rugged, industrial aesthetic suitable for exterior site works. Its geometry is straightforward, designed to be placed as a singular unit or aggregated to form longer retaining wall systems. The proportions are balanced for standard site grading applications, offering a clear visual representation of a stone-filled cage structure for site plans and rendered landscape views.

The download is a 594 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is best utilized as a site component within the landscape model. Users should load the RFA into the project and place it on the site topography or a hardscape base. Since it acts as a modular unit, it can be arrayed along site boundaries or retaining wall paths. Ensure the material parameters are set correctly to control the stone texture and steel wire appearance in both shaded and rendered views within the site design.

This asset is essential for landscape architects and civil engineers working on site development, drainage, and erosion control projects. It is frequently employed in residential garden designs, commercial landscaping, and industrial site infrastructure where functional, low-maintenance retaining walls are required. Professionals searching for this component often use terms like gabion basket, stone-filled wall, site retaining wall, or landscape erosion control. It pairs well with other site elements like steel bollards, concrete paving, and native planting schemes in external project stages.
