-## Revit database visualization (RDV)
+## Revit database visualization (RDV)
+
+RDV works for selected element/object in the tree and/or on the list.
+
+Available visualizations:
+
+- model coordinate system displayed at (0,0,0)
+- for an Element, its bounding box with marked min and max points
+- for a Rebar, its Normal and marked start and end points
+- for an XYZ, small coordinate system at that point
+- BoundingBoxXYZ,
+- bounded Curve, 
+- Edge, 
+- Point, 
+- Soild, 
+- PlanarFace
+ 
+
+
+**Visualizations are static, they are not automatically updated when element changes.**

 **The fastest, most advanced, asynchronous Revit database exploration tool for Revit 2021+.**
 
-Yet another [RevitLookup](https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup) like tool. RevitLookup was an indispensable tool to work with Revit API for many years. But now, there is a better tool for the job. Let me introduce you to Revit database explorer and its capabilities. It not only allows us to **explore** database but also to:
-- **edit**, any parameter value
-- **query**, database with intuitive syntax that is translated into a FilteredElementCollector
-- **script**, by running ad hoc scripts written in C#
-- **visualize**, geometrical features of elements
