 The Python bindings provide a number of convenience methods and attributes not directly available in the C API in order
 to make model editing easier:
 
+Finding elements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The ``MjSpec`` object has methods like ``find_body(), find_joint(), find_site(), ...`` for every type of name-able
+:ref:`mjtObj` type. These methods take a name string and return the element with that name or ``None`` if it does not
+exist.
+
 Element lists
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Lists of all elements in a spec can be accessed using named properties, using the plural form. For example,
-``spec.meshes`` returns a list of all meshes in the spec.
-
-The following properties are implemented: ``sites``, ``geoms``, ``joints``, ``lights``, ``cameras``, ``bodies``,
-``frames``, ``materials``, ``meshes``, ``pairs``, ``equalities``, ``tendons``, ``actuators``, ``skins``, ``textures``,
-``texts``, ``tuples``, ``flexes``, ``hfields``, ``keys``, ``numerics``, ``excludes``, ``sensors``, ``plugins``.
