Defining sensors

Have sensors to lay inside cells or they may be defined at surface as well?

How to use command GPOST with option MAPLINE? I've tried to draw the line on the top of the current section plot, but the following error message appears: "THE VIEW IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE SECTION NORMAL".

Sensors can be on a surface, but be careful that they are not outside the model. It appears from your error that you are trying to look at your section from its edge (ie perpendicular to the normal to the section). Define the section and then try view,snorm to force the viewing direction to be normal to the section.
