Abstract: 
In this paper we determine the largest sets of points of finite thick buildings of type F-4 such that no two points of the set are at maximal distance. The motivation for studying these sets comes from [9], where a general Erds-Ko-Rado problem was formulated for finite thick buildings. The result in this paper solves this problem for points (and dually for symplecta) in finite thick buildings of type F-4.
