dear typhoon and palladio,

thanks for ideas.

i am a beginner. please clear me the difference the solid block wall will be having different weight and properties whereeas

the hollow blocks will be around 40 % void. how to make different type for these two. all i know is to select CMU for

block work. Is there separate material for solod and hollow blocks.

regards.
