curve tilt

I can’t even make a simple pipeline because of it; the moment it bends upwards, there is a twist. When I use t to try to un-twist it, it doesn’t work, no matter which control points I select. I just want a damn pipe!!! If you can fix this blend file, gimme that and tell me how. Also, I think tilt interpolation might have something to do with it, but as far as I can tell it does nothing at all.
I’m crying.

You can fix the kinks by rotating the handles around the Z axis and the smaller ripples can be straightened out by increasing the DefResolU. There is a script called RealignPathAxis.py but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

move the points around a bit and rotate them, usually this can be done without changing the look of the path a lot

Why can’t this just be as good as the google sketchup “follow me” tool?
