It's hare to say without knowing exactly what you want. But maybe uncheck Perpendicular (align Y to curve tangents)?

Do you have an image that shows what your going for?

I ran into a problem with the spiral which I am unable to resolve....

1. create a spiral 0-1440 degree.
2. create a square.
3. Create Polymesh, extrude along curve.

Square was selected, curve got picked. Now the extrusion follows. BUT
the square is slowly rolling around the center of the curve.
HOW can I prevent that it rolls during extrusion. I need a square
channel where the square itself does not rotate. Like a spiral
staircase, the steps do not warp ot tilt either on the way down.

sighhhhh any ideas? I'm stuck...
