      Hello, please help, ist there an extension that changes the Sketchup "standard dimensions" into 3d model that would be visible in render (V-ray)?
      thank you

        I don't believe there are any extensions to do that. You could use 3D text and drawn 3D dimension and extension lines to create the geometry. I find it's simper and faster to combine a couple of image exports; the render and a dimensions-only image direct from SketchUp. This is a quick 10 second render to show the idea.

        The render:
        Vise render.png

        The dimensions-only image export from SketchUp:

        And after combining them in an image editor:

        The layer for the dimensions is set to Multiply in the image editor.
