Hi! I made a road using sweep node, but when I tried to transform my curve,
this road began twist around this curve. So, how can I do this road, along all lenght of the curve, always be 90 degrees to Y axis (pic.1)?????????

if the street is only on ground level with no mountains, you can scale the street in Y, or you use a ray-sop to project it onto a grid. generating normals (for the curve) pointing to Y may help as well.

use a point sop and set the normal to 0 1 0, .. so it points up into y direction.
