In this video, we use VESTA to build a slab model of Copper where the exposed surface is the 111 surface. For this video, I use the primitive cell of Copper. Also, big thanks to a comment from @Michael LaCount who explained to me (in a comment in a previous video) that visualized lattice planes are transformed when doing unit cell transformations in VESTA.
** UPDATE **
I realized that this structure has high strain in one of its spatial dimensions, and should have a 120 angle between the ab axes. To obtain this structure, please use the following transformation matrix in VESTA on the original, primitive unit cell:
[
[ 1, -1, 1]
[ 0, 1, 1]
[-1, 0, 1]
]
