I just had to reposition the Rectangle to the other end of the Path,

top right, as I found no way to change the direction of that Arc,

and rotate again to fit.

 

Center Object on Path OFF, will keep desired Position to Path.

Tangent to Path ON, will make Profile rotate along the Path

 

 

Previously I used the Rectangle Profile from left below side,

then the array would happen mirrored away from Path.

There is an expectation: you must place the elements in a counter-clock way relatively to the arc. If you don't, it won't work.

 

This is one of the ancient VW pitfalls for new and old users alike. Like we knew or cared about counter-clock or not.

Bug-filed, but unfortunately this is the way it will stay, likely forever.

Extrude along path is also confusing in this kind of way - you have to guess what assumptions VW is making about things like how you place the path and profile relative to each other.

 

Lots of stuff is not explained in the documentation

 

 I complained about this last year, but it was just ignored. It looks like nothing has been added to the VW2021 documentation.
