How to get all the DB-IDs in Autodesk Forge

Question

I need to get all the DB-Ids from the Autodesk forge model. I have referred the code from https://forge.autodesk.com/cloud_and_mobile/2015/12/select-all-elements-in-the-viewer-with-view-and-data-api-with-javascript.html

I also have tried it in my own extension and the code is as follows.

 AutodeskNamespace("Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension"); Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Color = function(viewer, options) { Autodesk.Viewing.Extension.call(this, viewer, options); var _self = this; var _viewer = viewer; var instanceTree = viewer.model.getData().instanceTree; var rootId = this.rootId = instanceTree.getRootId(); _self.load = function() { getgetAlldbIds(rootId); }; function getAlldbIds(rootId) { var alldbId = []; if (!rootId) { return alldbId; } var queue = []; queue.push(rootId); while (queue.length > 0) { var node = queue.shift(); alldbId.push(node); instanceTree.enumNodeChildren(node, function(childrenIds) { queue.push(childrenIds); }); } console.log(alldbId); } }; 

But I'm getting an error in Developer Tools as cannot read property 'getData' of null where do you think I'm going wrong. thanks in advance.

The problem must be that the model is not fully loaded, so you should wait for that event (Autodesk.Viewing.GEOMETRY_LOADED_EVENT). It might be better to wait for the object tree created event as well (Autodesk.Viewing.OBJECT_TREE_CREATED_EVENT) - see discussion here: How to Retrieve Forge Viewer objectTree?

By the way, there is an easier way now to get all the dbIds: Get all database id's in the model
