Standard
Location and orientation follow the path.
(If the object is twisted in an unexpected way, try Frenet)
Fixed
Location follows the path and orientation stays the same as basic shape.
This tends to cause self intersections which lead to further errors: a ghost face in this case.
Frenet
Location and orientation follow the path, based on a different algorithm than Standard.
The basic shape follows the line orientation.
Auxiliary
Location follows the path with a twist around the path that is controlled by an auxiliary curve (blue).
(It is hard to recognise but there is an angle between the planes of auxiliary curve and path that is responsible for the twist)
Binormal
