You can implement this as a SketchUp extension ( .rb file) that adds a UI panel to manage V-Ray render settings presets (low, medium, high, custom), with the ability to apply, save, and export/import settings. Feature Name: V-Ray Render Settings Manager Purpose: Allow users to quickly switch between render quality presets, adjust key V-Ray settings (image sampler, GI, lights, materials), and save/load presets without diving into the V-Ray Asset Editor.
