I want to find the biggest possible box inside an area, like the opposite of a bounding box. It should also be oriented.

    Thanks, that might help, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it with FME.

    I guess the problem is not common enough to have a predefined transformer.

     

    But the TinGenerator gives you a Delaunay triangulation and the CenterlineReplacer gives a rough direction on where the Rectangle could fit. Maybe you could use those to construct something.

    OK, I'll try that, thanks.
