Why is this happening and how to avoid it:

It seems the RailClone object was created in the XZ plane, so when the spline is rotated 90º the direction as seen from RC is a vector with X:0, Y:0.
That causes an indetermination to get the Z axis, which is computed as the perpendicular of this vector.

How to fix it:

1) Select the spline in Base Objects and click "Realign". That will align RC with the local axis of the spline (XY).
2) In the Generator properties, set X Rotation = 90º.

I suggest this procedure to create rotated arrays, because several computations in RC are done considering that the object is aligned on the XY plane.

Yeah it was created in XZ plane, as I needed that...
I will have to think of workaround for my style in mind...

Thanx
