How can I achieve this?
(OP)
I'm sure the folloing model is very easy to make, but I'm very new to this, so need some help...
The illustrations you see below is very rough, the best I could draw using extrude and pattern, to give some idea what I want. Apparently you see the bottom should be smooth unlike below, just like the spline. Also each triangular object should be consident to other. Pattern is required to make it easy modifying the angles of triangular object. Below I just sketched "house like" profile, then extruded and made pattern. If I just make the bottom part separately using sweep rectangle on spline shape, then how to attach this perfectly to array of triangular objects? I also had difficulty to align perfectly each triangular object in array... What is the best way to achieve this object?

Make a curve and add a point on that curve. Then pattern the points along the curve. Create the triangle referencing the first point, making sure to use a tangent or perpendicular sketch entity to properly align the triangle along the curve. Now make a reference pattern of the triangles.
