I’m going to model clay structure in lammps. But, there are many softwares for the pre-processing purpose.
What’s the best software to import .cif files and building crystal lattice?

.cif files are containers for crystallographic information, only some of which is atomic coordinates. The best option would be to convert the file into a coordinate format understood by the pre-processing tools typically used with LAMMPS:

Moreover, in an earlier post you were trying to use ClayFF: the best would be to identify the pre-processing tools that support it, and familiarize yourself with literature using it.
