Hi Pantelis,

"Horizontal frames" component will generate XY planes at certain number of points, equally distributed along the curve.

"Curve frames" component will do the same, just instead of XY plane, it will generate planes at which the tangent vectors of initial curve lie (at particular point). Where tangent vector represents the X axis of the plane.

To understand it better, try constructing a curve in 3d space (with control points scattered in space, not all of the lie in a single plane) and try using both components.
