Hi Before to use SIESTA, I used Gaussian mainly. So, for me to use GaussView to construct my crystal is easy. I know about other program such Maestro, Molekel, gdis, Material Studio, Avogradro. I think that all is program are a bit difficult to use. Except Material Studio and GaussVieww, all are free Even, I have thought to view the results with GaussView.
