A graphical user interface for Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) has been available at Hanford for the last few years. It has been a valuable tool for creating input files for complex geometries. This editor has capabilities that allow the user to visually create geometries utilizing most of the powerful features of MCNP, including universes and transformations. It has now been upgraded to enable the visual creation of geometries involving hexagonal and rectangular lattices. This upgrade should be particularly valuable for hexagonal lattices, which can present challenging problems involving various combinations and orientations of such lattices. This paper describes the upgrade and gives pertinent examples for hexagonal lattices.
