    Try a circular pattern with selecting the face. Or otherwise use the loft to create a new part, pattern that part and then boolean all bodies together.

    You can always share your (public) document for people to go in and have a closer look at it.

    Anytime you have a part or features that repeats, look to make one and use pattern features/part.

    Ultimately I just manually copied the sweep. It was a simple geometry. I used the circle pattern on the islands and several other parts of the project, but I couldn't figure out how to get the sweep to apply to more than one island.
