A new version of the code system pengeom, which provides a complete set of tools to handle different geometries in Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport, is presented. The distribution package consists of a set of Fortran subroutines and a Java graphical user interface that allows building and debugging the geometry-definition file, and producing images of the geometry in two- and three dimensions. A detailed description of these tools is given in the original paper [Comput. Phys. Commun. 199 (2016) 102–113] and in the code manual included in the distribution package. The present new version differs from the previous one in that 1) it implements a more systematic handling of round-off errors, 2) the set of examples has been updated, and 3) it allows including a single voxelized box as a geometry module. With the last optional feature, a Monte Carlo code can readily be used for describing irradiation processes with complex material structures, such as medical treatments.
