Templates Folder Location SU2015 Make Mac

[jajh]

I am using SU2015 Make on a Mac.
I saved an existing file as a template (File - Save as template...)
I chose this new template to be the default template (checked the box)
I created a new file (File - New) and, as hoped, the new file opened using the new template.
But now I want to adjust my newly created template.
The problem is that I can't find the location of the SU2015 templates either searching my computer or via multiple internet searches for assistance.
I did find a similar query about the location of the 2015 Materials folder which, I learned, is in Sketchup.app-Contents-Content-Materials which is only searchable by right clicking the App and choosing Show Package Contents. Sheesh!!
But I am not seeing anything similar... or anything at all, anywhere... regarding a Templates folder!

Where are the SU2015 Mac Templates and/or how can I open up my SU Templates to adjust and re-save them?

Thank you.

You don't need to access that location to modify the template. Just open a new SketchUp session, make the desired changes and, under File, choose Save as template. Save the file with a name of your choice and add a description if you like. Make sure Use as default is ticked if you want it to be the one shown when a new SketchUp session starts.

If you make modifications to the style, make sure you update the style before saving the template and also save that as a new style in your Default Styles library.

As Dave describes, you should not normally need to explicitly access your Template files. But just for info in case you run into trouble, user-defined Templates are located in

/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/SketchUp2015/SketchUp/Templates

By default your Library folder is hidden in Finder. You can get there one-time using Go->Go To Folder, or you can open View->Show View Options and check the Show Library Folder box to make it always visible.

The SketchUp-supplied Templates are contained in the Application bundle. If you want to alter one of these, you should activate it in SketchUp, make changes, and save it as a user-defined Template - you should not access or modify the master copy in the Application.

FYI, SU '17 currently saves user-created templates to:

> Users > YourName > AppData > Roaming > SketchUp > SketchUp 2017 > SketchUp > Templates

That's true for SketchUp 2017 on Windows. It's different for SketchUp on Mac, though.

Using this in the Ruby Console
UI.openURL("file:///#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Templates')}")
opens your own user Templates folder.
The 'shipped' Templates are in the .../SketchUp.../Resources/.../Templates folder...
