I understand that layering materials can be quite effective.  I'm not sure how this is done.  For instance, if you wanted a high gloss finish on a wood material, would you actually create geometry in solidworks as a separate surface on top of the wood and apply for instance, a clear coat material to that?  Or can you actually build up layers of materials on a single surface?  I tried to do that, but one material just over-rode the other.

Thanks,
