What do you call castors?

[Conor Devoy]

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.

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,

Here is a simple caster that I made up.

I hope you can use it!

Conor,

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

Thanks Guys.

Isn't language a wonderful thing.

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.

In the English language (at least American 'English') beaver is slang for...........well, nevermind.
