You don't need to do this. There are copy/paste commands. Open up the molecule. 
Choose "Edit->Copy". Open up the surface. Choose "Edit->Paste"

Done. In version 1.1, there's also a surface builder. Open up any CIF file, 
including "File->Import->Crystal" (which has ~500 common crystal structures). 
Then "Crystallography->Build->Slab" to generate the surface you want. The 
surface will be placed in the xy plane, so one can easily align a molecule. The 
next release will also include a manual translate/rotation option.

Hope that helps,
-Geoff
