[Paraview] streamlines on 2D plane from 3D data

[Burlen Loring]

Hi Ryan,

Try using Surface Vectors filter to remove the out of surface component 
from the vector field, and make sure your seeds are exactly on the surface.

As far as surface lic, are you sure you selected the right vector field? 
If yes, please share the data and I'll see if I can duplicate the issue.
