Hi Lisa,
Starting from a similar crystal structure could work.
Alternatively, building a basic "crystal" structure using symmetry P1
and just putting the atoms
where you want them would be feasible - tedious if you have a lot of
atoms, easier if you know you
have higher symmetry.
e.g. Test
Symmetry P1 * i.e. no symmetry
a = 10 b = 10 c = 10 *Angstroms, easy to scale
alpha = 90 beta = 90 gamma = 90 * so metrically cubic
Central atom 0.000 0.000 0.000 * at origin, could always displace by
1/2 lattice constants to keep all in the unit cell
1st NNa 0.220 0.000 0.000 * 1st nns at 2.2 Angstroms away
1stNNb 0.000 0.220 0.000
1stNNc 0.000 0.000 0.220
1stNNd -0.220 0.000 0.000
etc...
I've used this for modelling molecules, surfaces (with deposited films)
as well as 3D crystals.
It is a bit of brute force, but should work in any crystal visualization
program...
cheers,
-R.

Hello XAFS friends.
I would like to know how to create a structure model for a molecule
that was measured with EXAFS, then modeled using the typical
strategies? - So, in the end you have some distances and bond angles
from the central atom to the first, and maybe second neighbor.
I was thinking that you start from a similar crystal structure and
then adapt that model using the numbers you got from EXAFS fitting,
using for example the Vesta program.
Best wishes,
Lisa.
