Would this be some kind of auto-space? No such function exists - to create a fixed gap between objects.

I suggest that you add outrig hotspots in your object plan symbols to establish offset sizes, but this will interfere with parametric resizing of the element.

You might try to show the usage space; I have to check (not using 8.1 for months now ...) whether the 8.1 objects still have the usage areas defined, but I do remeber that the 6.5 and 7.0 ones did. And, they had the htospots. Very easy to line up furniture with necessary passages with that feature on.
