How to check for a local part on the server?

✓ Accepted answer
If the "local part" is created by the client, it will simply not exist on the server due to properties of Filtering Enabled.
The part will only exist on the client. If you want to check if a part exist on both the client and the server you can use a RemoteEvent to send the part object and check if it's nil or not.
--server
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, part)
if (part) then
print(part.Name .. " exists on server.")
else
print("Part doesn't exist on server.")
end
end)
--client
RemoteEvent:FireServer(workspace.Baseplate)
RemoteEvent:FireServer(Instance.new("Part", workspace))
Output:
Baseplate exists on server.
Part doesn't exist on server.
Good luck.
for _, Model in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
if Model.Name = "ButtonModel" then
code
else
code
end
end

I substituted "ButtonModel" for "RedPart". And when I create the instance "RedPart" with a local script I did not get a read out. i also changed code with print("Yes"))

It didn't work because you're using a LocalScript to insert a part into the workspace. So it's Client Sided, not Server Sided. To insert a part, use a Server Script for the server to pass it through it's connections and verify it's existence into the game. In summary, use ServerScripts for things you want everyone to see or have an affect with, and use a LocalScript in GUI's for only the person...

and other stuff for only the person to see who's using the computer. YouTube is a great way to learn scripting.
