I'm afraid I cannot determine the cause of the behavior you have illustrated based on the presented info. V-Ray renders the texture tiling as it appears in SketchUp's viewport both when automatic binding is used or a texture is manually placed in the custom binding slot.

The functionality of the "eye" button in V-Ray 3.6 has not been removed. If it is any other texture type, a "Texture Helper" will be used instead. If the Diffuse texture in V-Ray is a Bitmap texture, it will directly be displayed in SketchUp. By default, the V-Ray material's Diffuse color and texture are automatically synchronized with the material in SketchUp and thus displayed in the SketchUp viewport.
