Hi Rajesh,

i just wanted also to share with you the best practice in this area. 3D charts are not the best way to represent information as it is hard and difficult to read. especially when you have many values in your X-Axes, Y-Axes and Z-Axes. While 2D are more easier for the eye to catch the information. So instead of using a 3D chart i suggest to find a good simple representation for the information using 2Ds charts. Remember, simplicity is the the key factor for success. we all know that Google is now the best search engine because the simple interface they have. 

Also don't make you dashboard crowded with colors, unnecessary components and alerts. we don't want make our dashboard as Las Vigas 🙂
