Is there a way to see the absolute coordinates of an object?

Is there a way to see the coordinates (X,Y,Z)  of objects so that I can more easily position objects next to it (for example, placing walls)

Select the item and look in the Parameters or Posing pane.

Note, however, that if the item is parented, the coordinates are relative to the parent.

You can paste this into the Script IDE, and I believe it should give you world-space coordinates of your selected object whether or not it is parented:

 

// get the object selected in your scene

var oObj = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

// print out the world space position in a message box

MessageBox.information("World-Space Position for object '" + oObj.getLabel() + "': " + oObj.getWSPos(),"Info","OK" );
