Re: How to create a pyramid net
I've seen videos from artists doing similar sculptures where they create a series of cones/pyramids/spikes that flow similar to this out of various materials. They make the final assembly from individual parts that are attached to a baseplate. As long as you have a good system for numbering the parts, this seems pretty manageable, and perhaps easier that trying to make everything in one piece. There are too many things that would all have to go right in order for that one part to look/work right. Each individual pyramid will be a relatively simple part that is much easier to redo or replace if something doesn't quite go right.

Re: How to create a pyramid net
The problem here is some pyramid tip points are outside of the projected area of the base square. That will lead to self-intersections in the flat pattern and prevent the use of the shee metal toolset. There will be single pyramids or maybe small groups of pyramids at places.
Re: what is the best alternative to boolean controlled geometry in master sketch
Here is an option for you to look over and decide if it's something you would like to try. Window parts are derived into framing and adjusted there. Don't fallow the framing methods I know that are not exactly kosher.
Some of the trimmed studs are problematic for making a cut list. Maybe someone can make a suggestion. I'm too tired tonight to continue.
