Hi Hammer, i think you sketch the path with some inclination, in a elevation view see if the model have an inclination, if so, edit the sweep and rebuild your path in a elevation view (vertically).

i checked the incline and it doesnt look like there is one, and when i do the path i do it using the front of the building and use the top for the profile.
