I baked the arc, moved the middle control point away and back and then it works. Weird.

Evaluating the curve with rhinocommon works…
the attached script does the job.
so maybe it is a bug ?

    private void RunScript(Curve crv, double t, ref object a)
    {
        Point3d ptt = crv.PointAt(t);
        Vector3d vt, vn, vy;
        vt = crv.TangentAt(t);
        vn = crv.CurvatureAt(t);
        if (vn.IsTiny())
        {
            a = Plane.CreateFromNormal(ptt,vt);
        } else
        {
            vt.Unitize();
            vn.Unitize();
            vy = Vector3d.CrossProduct(vt,vn);
            a = new Plane(ptt,vn,vy);
        }
    }

maybe the gh component does handle some special cases - but does to much safety and fails ?

EDIT:
…also rotating the curve by 45 degree (but not 1 degree) will result in a correct perpendicular frames from the component…

Is this a bug?

I have the same issue, opened the gh code in rhino 7 and perp frame worked.

I don’t know what you expect but don’t see any issue (other than ‘Display | Preview Plane Size’) in this code between R7 and R8?
