Try gdis. It can directly read and write fdf files and can create a surface slab
with given Miller indices. I don't know if you can create a crystal from scratch.

More powerful, but text-based and clunky to use, is tetr.

I personally use GaussView. Maestro is free, and good for molecules.
But if you're only interested in crystal surfaces you could write your
own code, say in fortran, to generate a periodic structure.

Dear all,
I am learning the siesta now, while I still can not find a suitable
software to construct the surface. Most of the softwares are
charged，so is there some kind is free or cheap? what kind of
software are you using for the siesta? Thank you very much
Yours,
Min Gao
