Tutorial 2: building structures

In the previous tutorial you learned how to enter the coordinates and lattice vectors directly. In this tutorial we demonstrate the working of several tools that combined give you great flexibility to build structures.

The instruments at your disposal are:

• Small database of predefined crystal structures.
• CIF file importer.
• Crystal builder from space group information.
• Super cell tool to enlarge the unit cell
• Slice tool to cut out slabs from any crystal.
