Could you give an example of when you do that - is it e.g. for v. high packing density? (e.g. if the first item was a pyramid, you could lean something against it?) You're correct that everything in BoxPacker is assumed to be cuboid, and therefore possible orientations are just those of each face (i.e. 90 degree variations) |

Ah OK, I see. Taking advantage of the diagonals. To be honest that kind of feature is not in any kind of mental roadmap I currently have, but it's an interesting one. I'll give it a think |

I've been playing around with the boxpacker a bit and I'm impressed, it works very nice and we'll be using this very soon in production.
One question, we sometimes have items that do fit in a box, but then they have to be placed at an angle of let's say 30 degrees. As far as I can see calculations now always are based on items either placed on one of the surfaces, but never in an angle. Is this a possibility?
