# Create space units

> Creates one or more space units in a building in one call.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Send the building as the `buildingId` query parameter too. Use the same building as in the path.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Each space unit needs a `name` and a `partOfId`, the level or space it belongs to. The `partOfId` must be in this building. Names must be unique in the request. The response is `200`. `insertedIds` maps the position of each space unit in your request, starting at `0`, to the id of the new space unit.
