spiral. profile orient

Hi guys!

I have a spiral and a profile, what I want to loft align the curve. I used perp frames and orient, and its fine. But the problem is, that they are not in the good psition. I mean, I need them in the same position, so the ( you can see in the file) open part of the profile should be outside from the spiral, but they are rotated now :S

Please help! :)

Thanks :)

The planes were misoriented. Now you can rotate them if you want to change positions.

Here's one way:

I've chosen to first Align Plane in the negative Z direction, so all the planes follow the spiral, but all the Y axes point down. (I tried up first, just for the record, but if you look closely at the way you've created the profile with respect to the origin, you can figure it out.)

Another way would be to re-position (move, rotate, mirror) the profile before placing it along the spiral curve.
