      Is there a way to reset the default font for the 3D text tool?
      (SU 8 / Mac OSX 10.6)

      So far I have to change the font each time I place.
      After each placement it reverts to Lucinda Grande.

      I haven't found any setting for the default text.
      Am I missing something, or just stuck with another minor SU annoyance?

      Thanks,

      Doug

        On the PC it uses that last selected font. On the Mac, since it uses the Mac font thing, I wonder if you can choose a default font with FontBook. I don't have my MacBook handy to check at the moment. I will if someone doesn't chime in.

            I just now looked at it on my Mac with SU2015. The last set font choice is retained for each activation of the 3D Text tool and it is even retained when SU is closed/quit and restarted. It appears that an answer was found sometime between 2011 and the release of SU2015. I don't know in which version it changed.

            What version of SketchUp are you using? It would be helpful if you completed your profile.
