Maintaining profile orientation along complex path

$

I am trying to sweep a rectangular cut around a 3D profile, and I cannot figure out how to make Creo maintain the definition of vertical.  The path is created by intersecting a swept helical surface and an extruded surface.

In the image above, I would like the rectangular profile to stay flat as it goes around the trajectory, but instead it is tilting downward.  I would assume that the "Horizontal/Vertical control" drop-down in the references tab would let me correct this, but I'm only able to choose "Automatic". 

 

I certainly appreciate any help.  I've got 10 year of SolidWorks experience, but only a few days of Creo experience.  I'm finding the online tutorials and help inadequate for learning how to create this feature.  I'm attaching the model to this post, too.
