Not that simple as you may think

Get this (not suitable for a novice, mind) and play around with the options. Added a spiral like yours in the test curves that yield either "standard" perp GH planes or ... mine.

PS: obviously sweeping a box doesn't make sense .. so use the sweep option accordingly.

thank you, but the problem is that they are all parallel now, and they should go perpendicularly to the curve

And use this approach (to use a line to get the Y direction via CurveCP) on your definition.
