<node3d>.getChildren() subtleties

I am trying to poll an object loaded from an ive file for it's children. The object always returns an empty list from getChildren(). However, if I use getChild('DVD') (one of the children), it returns a viznode. So I am wondering if there is some subtlety I am missing, possibly something to do with getChild searching deeper than immediate children?

So, the code looks something like:
Code:
obj = viz.add('ObjectsTest.ive')
print obj.getChildren()
(returns [])
print obj.getChild('DVD')
(returns viz.VizNode(35))

The node3D.getChildren command will return a list of the immediate Vizard node3d objects that are below that node. It will not return a list of the underlying scene graph nodes.

When you use the node3D.getChild command a new node3d object is created.

You can use the <node3d>.getNodeNames command to retrieve a list of names of the scene graph nodes underneath the Vizard node:
Code:
model = viz.addChild('gallery.ive')

print 'Model contains the following scene graph nodes:'
for name in model.getNodeNames():
	print ' ',name
