description On this poster we give an overview on a system which was developed to describe the ATLAS muon spectrometer in software. The functionality of the generic XML detector description system (AGDD, ATLAS Generic Detector Description) based on a series of parsers and converters which build a generic, transient geometry model is pointed out and it is explained how it is linked to commonly used geometry descriptions like Geant4, the ATLAS GeoModel or Root TGeo. We particularly focus on visual representations and especially stress that PERSINT amongst other crucial features permits a comfortable way for debugging. Finally we present next to a simple example a visualisation of the current XML implementation of the ATLAS muon spectrometer.
