Sketchup 2015 - Template set up

[garystan]

Hi everybody :

            I just switched from Sketchup 8 to Sketchup 2015 (Free version).  I have a question about the human figure (component) that appears just after starting the software.  Is there a way to change this default component ?   On the opening display, it shows an elderly man.  I'd like to change it to the Sang human figure, making it the default opening component.

                                                                 Thanks,
                                                               garystan

SketchUp always opens a new model using your default Template.
Check the name of your default with Preferences.
Simply open a new model and change it as you want, then use the File ? Save as Template option.
Any new models will start using that updated Template.

Incidentally you can customize any model option relating to the 'default' used in the Template...
For example you do not need any preloaded component, unless you want it.
You can also set up your model's Units, Text and Dimension options etc.
If the Template contains a set of commonly used Layers or Materials or Styles they come in as well...
