If your in the 3d toolpath "slice planar", there is a "lace angle" value set on the patterns tab. It's default is 90 degrees. 0 would rotate it how you describe.
I dont think V24 did much work with the stock yet. Your part can be anywhere you want it to be, like, above z zero. You have to set the "top of part" in the feature you are using though, to be above the top of the 3d model.
