I believe you are talking about vmxnet 3 (NIC type). if yes. Than you can select it once you build your vm and select the network adapter in to settings of the nic.
if No : Then i believe you created your vmnet3 Network manually and its not any more there. if this is the situation you need to go to the vmware workstation> network editor page and create a new Network with your desired settings in to it.
in workstation by default only vmnet0, 1, 8 is automatically configured.
