Make an iPhone 6 Plus Case in Rhinoceros 6: A Step-by-Step Guide

====================================================================================

If you're looking for a way to unleash your creative side and create something truly unique, then look no further than making an iPhone 6 Plus case using Rhinomaker's powerful design software – Rhino3D. In this article, we'll take you through the process of creating an iPhone 6 plus case in Rhinoceros 6.

Prerequisites

----------

Before diving into this tutorial, make sure that:

1. You have a working copy of Rhinoceros 5 or later installed on your computer.

2. Your system meets the minimum hardware requirements for running Rhino3D (Intel Core i7 processor or equivalent).

3. Familiarize yourself with basic Rhino commands and tools.

Step 1: Create New Document

------------------------

Open Rhino, go to File > New > Part document (.rhino), name your file 'iPhone6PlusCase', set the units to millimeters (mm) under Options > Units.

Step 2: Extrude Base Shape

----------------------

1. Switch to the extrusion command by clicking on 'Extrusion' in the toolbar or press Ctrl+Shift+E (or Command + Shift + E on Mac).

2. Select the top plane of your document by right-clicking anywhere inside it then select 'Plane' from the context menu.

4. Click on 'Extrude' button at bottom left corner of the Rhino window or press enter key to apply changes.

Step 3: Boolean Operations

----------------------

1. To create the other half of our iPhone6PlusCase we need an exact mirror across Y axis:

- Select all faces from previous step by holding down Shift + left mouse button while clicking on them.

2. Go to 'Solid/Boolean' tab at top right corner of the Rhinos UI, click on 'Union' button under Boolean Operations section:

Step 4: Add Textures and Finishing Touches

--------------------------------

1. With both halves selected again (you can select multiple objects by holding down Shift + left-clicking), go to 'Solid/UV Mapping' tab at top right corner of Rhinos UI:

'Image describing where this option is located within Rhino's user interface.'

2. Click on 'Wrap' button under UVMapping section and follow prompts until you see a preview window pop up showing your iPhone6PlusCase with all sides mapped correctly:

3. To add some texture to our new phone case, select one of the many free textures available online that match its design style (e.g., wood grain for a more rustic feel). Then simply drag-and-drop it onto any face within your iPhone6PlusCase object:

And voila! You now have yourself a fully customizable, professionally-looking iPhone 6 Plus case made entirely in Rhinoceros 5 using nothing but basic computer skills and some creativity.
