      Open the brick component for editing, rotate the geometry 90 degrees in order to change the component origin directions, close component editing, save. It should work now.

        You could also right click on the component and choose Change axes. Then set the axes as needed, the origin is the insertion point and the red axis will run along the path.

          and how can you for example make a car follow a path, so that it's rotation is always aligned to the path itself?
