WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.
Tried to make a fence by using an array and [copy-along-path:]
Array acts as expected. But the [copy-along-path] tool - adds additional elevation at Z-axis:
See pictures.
Pictures are done in "normal" conditions: initial situation and a view immediately after click.

According to the Draft_PathArray documentation:
If that does not explain your problem: post a file.Note: if the Base object doesn't seem to be positioned correctly in the path, check that its Placement is in the origin (0,0,0)...

The sketch is positioned with an offset to wire...
But still for a path-related tool - changing the plane instead of aligning to path seems strange.

Your file does not contain a PathArray.

Made a correction
Re: WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.
See my first answer. Although the placement of Det1 is at the origin, the placement of sketch Sk1 is not. So the wiki documentation is not completely correct.

Re: WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.
If this does not require too much effort, could you please give an advise:
need to make a fence on a slope of 4/360 degree. The fence consists of sections
Single section is a frame between two posts.
The post is a vertical profile 60x60x1300
The lower and upper of frame is a 4 degree sloped profile 20x50x1
The vertical rods, that form grid inside the frame are profile rods of 20x20x1500
// distributed at step of 100mm with the same offset from posts.
In the real-life the problem is - positioning of each vertical rod - there are about 200 in the whole.
Sections are not even and slopes are different (37°, 0°, 4.13°, 11°), and the concrete bas is not linear.
Also - between two concrete sections there is a transitional part with different dimensions.
Used the A2Plus to build guidelines, to reuse details and to position them. But this was a terrible job that took about 4-5 days and if there would be the necessity to change something - would have to rebuild almost the whole project.
What would be the best approach to make this fence?
Stages - workbenches - tools?

Re: WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.
I have already tried to help you (f.e. see here and here), but my suggestions have fallen on barren ground it seems. I would still be in favor of that general approach. IOW, instead of striving for a fully parametric solution (5 days), choose a more low-key, but practical workflow (2 days and with more experience perhaps less).

Re: WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.
Roy, thank you for attention, sorry that my ground is "barren", hopefully - not completely.
Began studying advised solutions.
One of suggestions - over sized detail + Part_Cut... Does it work as "Trim"?
It seems, that actual "trim" is available only in:
-- Draft([Draft_Trimex|Trim/Extend (Trimex)]] |[[Draft_Trimex|Trim/Extend (Trimex)]]
-- Mesh
-- Sketcher...
