I want to dublicate my sketch onto every side of the pyramid

Here it is. One one face I already made a pattern. I want to replicate it onto every side. I already tried two things:

 

  • Mirroring doesn't work and just gives me an error message.
  • Copy pasting the sketch places it right next to the faces, and it can't be moved.

How can I achieve this? Any ideas?

It would be better to pattern the features instead of the sketch.  A circular pattern will do the trick. If you insist on using sketches, put the sketch in a component, then pattern it.

Your sketch and subsequent extrusions are very messy and are preventing the pattern.  I'll post a workaround after dinner.

Accepted solution

Start by reviewing Rule #1.

My first recommendation would be to start fresh and redo Sketch5.  I started to clean up Sketch5, but soon realized there were too many overlapping lines and my beard would be solid white before I finishedSmiley Happy

Since I was too lazy to fix the sketch, I used the current 3d body to recreate it.

 

 

You'll note when I created the bodies, I did it in three operations.  The reason for this, is Fusion 360 has trouble when multiple faces are connected along a common border.  The upper slot that goes nearly to the edge is also a problem. You should have either made the slot shorter or longer,so it didn't touch the edge.
