Insert a section
This endpoint creates a new section in Bloxs.
Integrators call it to add a subdivision of a complex, such as a floor or a group of units with a shared purpose, from a third-party system.
A section must always belong to a complex. The response returns the generated reference, which must be stored by the integrating system and used to identify this section in all subsequent operations.
