Align to Path has no effect on a saved motion.  It simply causes LightWave
to orient an object, bone, light, or camera to point at some other position
along the motion path, ignoring whatever heading and pitch angles are
stored in the motion.  But when you bring a motion path into Modeler for
extruding, the original heading and pitch values defined by the motion are
used.  I would suggest extruding along a Modeler spline instead (use Single
Rail Extrude with the Oriented option turned on).
