I found mercury really a helpful tool to assist me in all problems related to crystallographic structures.

A superb program for chemical crystal structures. To use Mercury you need a CIF or MOL file containing the measured crystal stucture of a certain chemical solid. There are no universal CIF/MOL collections freely available, but for a start try finding TGZ-zipped teaching_subset_cifs.tgz file from the CCDC web site. (= the author of this program) Even better if you get real ORTEP structure cifs from the web sites of real chemistry journals.

SM, Mercury will read other file formats, including .pdb, .mol2, and .xyz
