Perpendicular frame in a specific point of a curve

Hi all,
I would like to know how can I get a perpendicular frame in an specific point of a curve (e.g by ratio).
With perp.frames function, the minimum you get are 2 frames(in each extrem), and it is not my wish.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you!

I have a question here, I wanted to get a plane at a point from “curve closest point“ with parameter “t“ as in Perp Frame. But I wanted the x–axis of the plane must be parallel to global X-axis. Is the “align plane” would be the right way or any smarter method? Thaks.

I presume you want something like this? It’s a little ambigous as you don’t specify the direction for y or z…

Thanks for your answer. That owuld also be an option. But in this way one lose the tangent to the curve. Inn my case, after Perp Frame, ifd i align it to Z vector, then the x/y axis would be parallel to global xz plane

If you plug Z into Y, you get a plane that is tangent to the curve, but none of the axes point along it.

(screenshots are not very good for demostrating tangency!)

There are only so many ways to orient a plane if one of its three axes is fixed!

Yeah, you are right. Thanks for the help. I got it.
