Copying profile in sketch

Good afternoon,

 

I would like to ask about copying a repeating profile when I work in a sketch mode. My goal was to create a cubic net, which is on a picture below:

The net is supposed to be along whole line which has thickness of 2 mm. I wanted to save my time and somehow copy this repeating profile along the baseline:

However, I didn't find any way how to perform that. Is there any method how can I do this copying process?

 

Thank you for your answers.

I would not duplicate work as you have done in your image.

Pattern of Faces, Features, Bodies or Components is more computationally efficient.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Note how many times you have repeated the 2mm and 18.15mm dimension.

For most efficient calculation - these dimensions should only appear once (example to follow in a few minutes).

Edit:  See @g-andresen video.  Variations on this can be done as needed.

One rectangle and two lines. Done with sketch!
