# Storing Face Set Selections

You can also use the FaceSetCreate node to store face set selections.

| 1. | Add a FaceSetCreate node to your node graph.

| 2. | Add the location of the mesh under meshLocation.

| 3. | Under selection, click the downwards arrow, and Adopt Faces from last Selection.

| 4. | This will then store your previous selection within the face set location. You'll see its numerical values appearing in the selection field. This can then be used to assign a separate material to a different part of the mesh, if they're not already separated out as individual meshes, for example.
