Hi! everyone!

How can I model it elegantly instead of the laborious way I did it?
I have two splines converted into tubes, and I want to join them using U-shaped tubes spaced, for example, 50cm apart.

This can be done as I did, by creating copies, or by creating all the U-shaped tubes in the sketch.

The question is whether there's an elegant way to solve this using a pattern.
So that Fusion 360 calculates the correct lengths and I don't have to copy or sketch each U-shaped tube.
If there isn't a solution for splines(Not symmetrical), is there one for non-parallel lines?

Easier and if you edit the model will update.

Thanks for the reply.
I really enjoy using Fusion 360; it's very fun and intuitive, but I can't find an easy way to perform this theoretical exercise. Once I have the first "U" shape, what I want is for the program to automatically propagate the rest of the profiles to fill the splines. I'm uploading a video I made in another software to illustrate what I want.

I don't think that is possible in Fusion.
