How would I stop a model being placed in another model?

I am having trouble with finding a way to make it so when I attempt to place a model inside another model, I prevents it. Basically, the system creates a fake model that appears at the mouse locally and I want a way to detect if it is touching something from inside a folder. How would I go about doing this? If you need more information, just ask! Thank you in advance!

You can use the GetPartsInPart method to detect if any parts are overlapping.

I think I may be doing something wrong. Here is my code. It prints nil instead of the touching part.

	local overlapParams = OverlapParams.new()
	overlapParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist 
	overlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Placeable}
	
	local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(CurrentDecoy.Outline, overlapParams)
	print(touchingParts.Name)

Do you want to test of Placeable is overlapping CurrentDecoy.Outline? Try setting it to whitelist instead

Nevermind, I made a mistake, here is the working script:

	local overlapParams = OverlapParams.new()
	overlapParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist 
	overlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Placeable}
	
	local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(CurrentDecoy.Outline, overlapParams)

	for _, v in pairs(touchingParts) do
		print(v.Name)
	end

I was supposed to loop through the parts, not try to get the name of the array.
