Dear all,

I used Inorganic Builder to create a SiO2 surface. Actually I wanted to
create a surface with given length and width (10 nm). But I couldn't find
how to give lengths so what I did is I found the length of a side of the
unit cell to be 7.12 A and I calculated how many unit cells that I need to
get approximately 10 nm. Then I gave that value as X and Y in inorganic
builder and Z I gave as 1.

Is there any other smart way to create a sheet of SiO2 with a desired
length?

Thanks

Monika
