Syntax:

objectType allObjects objectCollection

objectType: Number - type can be a combination of types according to bit flag operation (see getObjectType):

• 1 - Primary - normal object placed in Terrain Builder, part of landscape

• 4 - Temporary - temporary object (like vehicle tracks)

This command (63 allObjects 0) will return lamps or poles but not houses. Use nearestTerrainObjects instead.
