Orient ellipses on curve

Grasshopper
1

I am having difficulty orientating ellipses on a curve using perp frames. I can’t seem to figure out how to get the ellipses so that I can see the profile instead of seeing the geometry on edge.

I have attached a grasshopper file as will as (1) ellipse showing how it should be oriented that I imported from Rhino.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

is it a modelling or a grasshopper - question ? - you might want to change category for grasshopper.
or point out, that your .gh is just something you want to do by standard rhino commands.
thanks for the clarification. best -tom

Hello - you can create new planes from the perp frames using Deconstruct Plane and Construct Plane-

In this case, you can use HFrames instead of PFrames:
