Sweep1 trouble

I'm just trying to do a fairly simple (for right now) grasshopper sweep operation. The tubing gets getting twisted on itself. When I bake the circles and sweep manually, it works fine. Any help into this would be great. Also, help with getting the planes/circles perfectly vertical would be fantastic as well. They are currently tangent to a double curved curved, so slightly askew. Thanks in advance.

(It would probably be easier just to pipe the curve right now, but later I want to control the radius of each circle individually. If this isn't the way to go, please let me know).

Thanks

Hi m,
you can use the Pframes for this:

Thanks, that works perfectly. Do you by chance know how I could control with radius of each circle individually? So if I have 5 divisions, I could have 5 different radii.

thanks again

in this case you can simply put in 5 sliders (link them to the R in order along the curve)
