Can you explain further what you are trying to do.

Export 3D layer is for exporting a 3D model/scene from Photoshop into a format that can be opened in other applications. However your screenshot does not show a 3D layer, just a Smart object.

See below example of a 3D layer and an ordinary smart object layer


So in your example, there is no 3D object/scene to export.

    Thank so much for the answer!

    Do you know if a can convert a simple smart object into a 3D layer.

    I have an example attached that i want to convert.

    Hi

    Whilst you can make any layer into a 3D layer then you would still end up with a flat surface with some thickness extruded from the flat layer. Think of a postcard or a jigsaw piece.

    To get a dinosaur in 3D space that you can turn around, and still looks like a dinosaur from any angle, requires a 3D model. You could import such a model to Photoshop but not create it in Photoshop

    Thanks Dave,

    I downloaded this PSD file. https://elements.envato.com/deinonychus-VSALV5​. You have some tutorial how to adapt this model for 3D
