There is a structeditor package provided with wien2k which is capable of performing these tasks. It uses the open source matlab equivalent octave and allows you to script the generation of surfaces (this can be useful when you want to generate many labs with different slab or vacuum thickness using a for loop). This also means you can extend it with your own functions, though there are some other packages available online with some additional functionalities (grain boundaries, etc).

For the structeditor see section 9.26 in the user guide: http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/usersguide.pdf

Hi,
Are there any utils in WIEN package for supercell creation? I'm interested not 
just to enlarge the unit cell, but also to rotate it and cut a surface along 
some direction.
For example, I take a unit cell of wurzite SiC and want to create a surface 
with [10-10] orientation. Another question is how to rotate a crystal cell to a 
given angle along one axis. Any advices/ papers/algorithms are appreciated.
Regards,
Fedor Bystrenko
