3d "dimensions" for external rendering

[rob.mccarthy]

Dear Sketchucation community, I have a question that's been bothering me for quite a while.

I regularly model within sketchup and render using vray, however, dimensions and 2d text planes won't render outside of the sketchup viewport. I've worked around the 2d text issue by creating a plane for 3d text parallel with the plane of the camera. I use this in all of my drawings. Unfortuantely, I still can't find a workaround for dimensions. Is there a plugin out there that will create 3d dimensions (with arrows) like the native 3d text feature?

I would love to avoid using photoshop to layer dimensions/txt if possible.

Sincere thanks in advance,
Rob McCarthy

Would something like this be what you're after? I included the edges but you wouldn't have to in order to get the dimensions. Just put the dimensions on their own layer or layers, put the rest of the model on other layers. Turn off the model leaving only the dimensions visible. Export an image to the same dimensions as the rendered image and overlay it in your favorite image editor.
