Creating a Resource Pattern

This allows you to either create new instances and distribute them or multi select and distribute them along a profile/direction. You can either create new instances and distribute them or select multi objects and distribute them along any profile or in a direction with predefined spacing between them. This is a flexible way for creating layout capabilities and you can also detect any clash with any other object.
