In the network editor, In 2D mode, the following symbol indicates a 3D information sign: . Point the mouse pointer to the symbol to show the name of the 3D information board.

Note: 3D information signs reduce display and loading speed of Vissim. Use 3D information signs to display information, not to label network objects. Limit the number of 3D information signs you want to save in the *.inpx file to a maximum of a few dozen and avoid a larger number.
