Hi, I was wondering (hoping) if it was possible to set the style of text used in SketchUp Make i.e change it universally from the default to Calibri/Bold/14 pt etc?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In menu Window \> Model Info \> Text \> make the appropriate changes.  
(and any other changes (“startup” geometry and/or settings) you would like to have in your template)

Now use menu File \> Save As Template… (proper template name).  
Make sure that ‘Use as default template’ is checked when saving this template !

p.s. see: [Setting Up Templates | SketchUp Help](http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000141)
