In the case of the canonical flat \\(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\)-bundle of a closed hyperbolic \\(3\\)-manifold \\(M\\), its evaluation on the fundamental class is the complex volume, \\(\\text{Vol}(M)+i\\,\\text{CS}(M)\\in\\mathbb{C}/i\\pi^2\\mathbb{Z}\\), where \\(\\text{CS}(M)=2\\pi^2\\text{cs}(M)\\) for the Chern-Simons invariant \\(\\text{cs}(M)\\). To study this invariant, by using the bundle map of the canonical flat \\(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\)-bundle over \\(M\\) to the universal flat \\(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\)-bundle over \\(B(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}))\\) (endowing \\(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\) with the discrete topology), it is enough to study the characteristic class of this universal bundle. This class lies in \\(H^3(B(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})),\\mathbb{C}/\\pi^2\\mathbb{Z})\\), and therefore can be considered as a homomorphism \\(\\hat c_2:H_3(\\text{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}))\\to\\mathbb{C}/\\pi^2\\mathbb{Z}\\). Moreover \\(M\\) determines a fundamental class \\([M]\\in H_3(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}))\\) so that \\(\\hat c_2([M])\\) is the complex volume multiplied by \\(i\\).  In [Geom. Topol. 8, 413--474 (2004; Zbl 1053.57010)], \\textit{W. D. Neumann} gave an explicit expression for \\(\\hat c_2\\). For the determination of \\([M]\\), Neumann also constructed a group, \\(\\widehat{\\mathcal{B}}(\\mathbb{C})\\), called extended Bloch group, which is isomorphic to \\(H_3(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}))\\), and defined a map \\(R:\\widehat{\\mathcal{B}}(\\mathbb{C})\\to\\mathbb{C}/\\pi^2\\mathbb{Z}\\) that corresponds to \\(\\hat c_2\\), and an element in \\(\\widehat{\\mathcal{B}}(\\mathbb{C})\\) that corresponds to \\([M]\\), obtaining a formula for the complex volume. This formula also applies to cusped hyperbolic \\(3\\)-manifolds.  The goal of the present paper is to introduce a new way of obtaining the complex volume, which turns out to be more efficient for the numerical computations. It uses the subgroup \\(P\\) of upper triangular matrices in \\(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\) with \\(1\\) on the diagonal. First, the author shows that the relative homology group \\(H_3(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}),P)\\) can be computed using a complex generated by ideal hyperbolic simplices endowed with a decoration consisting of a horosphere at each ideal vertex and an identification of the horosphere with \\(\\mathbb C\\). This decoration endowes each ideal simplex with a flattening, which is used to define a map \\(\\Psi:H_3(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}),P)\\to\\widehat{\\mathcal{B}}(\\mathbb{C})\\).  Next the author considers the more general setting of a tame \\(3\\)-manifold \\(M\\) with a boundary-parabolic representation \\(\\rho:\\pi_1(M)\\to\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C})\\) (it maps each peripheral subgroup to a parabolic subgroup); now, \\(M\\) may not be hyperbolic and the boundary components of \\(\\overline M\\) may not be tori. Such a \\(\\rho\\) defines a fundamental class \\([\\rho]\\in H_3(\\mathrm{PSL}(2,\\mathbb{C}),P)\\) by using a decoration consisting of a conjugation of the image of each peripheral subgroup into \\(P\\). A topological triangulation of \\(M\\) is used to construct a representative of \\([\\rho]\\) in the complex of decorated ideal simplices by using a developing map. The image of \\([\\rho]\\) in \\(\\widehat{\\mathcal{B}}(\\mathbb{C})\\) is independent of the decoration, and the complex volume of \\(\\rho\\) is defined by the formula \\(i(\\text{Vol}(\\rho)+i\\,\\text{CS}(\\rho))=R\\circ\\Psi([\\rho])\\). This equals the complex volume of \\(M\\) when \\(\\rho\\) is the geometric representation of a hyperbolic \\(3\\)-manifold.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q961473$12DB9788-E893-40CB-B32F-E7A61991D64B","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"ca158ae8078c4b32bd91b6582eb807451f3d8474","datavalue":{"value":"58J28","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q961473$27366497-86D0-4C30-98CB-6DEA95ADE5E1","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"ba55da4db269ddf3a2ff179d128dbd1abddc34e7","datavalue":{"value":"57M27","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q961473$9DC99E4C-09BF-476D-A93B-19A9537A082A","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"b39e3ddc692ac5e57523aca0def2bac1f5174fcb","datavalue":{"value":"5688240","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q961473$AE156858-0901-4128-AE32-661BB9C05E29","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"c324c843036975fa94565bc97387aa400e345523","datavalue":{"value":"Cheeger-Chern-Simons
