Hi guys,
I'm posting from Dublin, Ireland and sometimes I've noticed a little difference in what I call something and the names you guys a little further west than me use and I don't mean Galway .
I'm looking to put what I would call castors (small wheels that swivel) on the bottom of a mobile cabinet.
Is there such a thing in Ecabs, I did a search in the help and came up blank.
Thanks for your help.
Conor
What do you call castors?

We call'em casters here (to us, castor is a bean used to make castor oil ) and you have to add them to your project as display objects.

Conor,
I just finished a mobile island. I used a 3D castor I downloaded off a website. Here is a link.

Re: What do you call castors?
In the French language, "un castor" is "a beaver". Probably taken directly from the genus "castor".
For more information on the beaver, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver

Brad,
Nice input! Very interesting and informative!
I'd like to see someone be able to use this kind of "un castor" in their design process.

Re: What do you call castors?
In the English language (at least American 'English') beaver is slang for...........well, nevermind.
