P.S. Had I spent a few more seconds studying the model, I would have noticed that all your effort to manipulate the ‘A’ (Source) input to Orient wasn’t necessary. The default ‘World XY’ works fine and requires one less rotate component in the white group I added.

P.P.S. Or maybe not… The section profile is not actually at the origin, as expected. 
Yet another P.S. In top view, the section curve appeared to be at the origin but in fact was ~-550 units below it for some very odd reason? So I moved it up to Z = 0.
