your question is so confusing,

" want to pattern rectangular sectioned shape along curve " do you want to sweep that section along the curve?

Where you want tangency?

3) Publish the sketch, and translate linked sketch where ever you want,. this way you can change anytime and all sections gets updated.

ok Got it,

First metnod,

1) You have points on curve already.
2) Create axis system on the point with one axis tangent to curve
3) then you would ahve axis system on your base traingle too. (Again one axis parallet to one of the line)
4) Then do axis to axis translalte.
tip- i create one set and paste and just repleace the point​


Second method

You can put above 1,2,4 in script.


hope this helps
