Curve Extrude Help (Maya)

I'm trying to extrude an edge along a curve that is flat on the grid.

I want the resulting geometry to be completely flat in the X Z plane. The problem is that I'm getting a subtle, and sometimes extreme, twist in my geometry as it travels along my curve and I don't really understand how to control this or set it up so that this doesn't happen.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Make sure the curve direction is correct and also make sure that twist is set to zero in the extrude history.

    I just tested with a plane and a curve and it worked fine for me, so it must be something wrong with your curve or geometry. You can try deleting history/transformations and rebuilding the curve.
