Best way to resolve this shape

[marcostocino]

Im recreating a lamp, the base and post are separate objects, whats the best way to create the pyramid shaped details?

I created a sketch then used the surface tools and finally circular pattern but im trying to find other methods (just curiosity) to resolve the problem. what solid tools can i try?

Does this work? Any suggestion for better workflow and organized /robust file are welcome

I did this while waiting for you to post your attempt...

Hi! There are multiple ways to create the desirable geometry. I reworked JD's model and use Boundary Fill and Face Draft instead of Guide Rail Sweep and Point Loft. The resultant body only contains planar faces.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the solutions! i will look into the files for both ways. i need to explore Boundary fill more! interesting.
