I'll do that.

Hmmm, I think its to do with the orthogonal vector pointing the wrong way, the 
curve down then up is making a shift in the vector from negative to positive, 
I'll have to put a check in for it and rotate the axis.

I think that makes sense, as you can't actually split the segments (It would 
alter all the segemnts around as well ).

I've done that, marked it as a display feature ( don't want people thinking it 
will affect the actually render. I've also altered the spheres to be more 
detailed ( similar to the sphere object ) as it looks better in the camera 
display.
