Antenna Toolbox "rcs" function for multiple materials?

I am playing around with the Antenna Toolbox 'rcs' function to simulate monostatic cross section for simple objects. I create a platform object using a STEP file of my geometry then utilize the "rcs" function to simulate it. The documentation for this function provided by MathWorks shows examples of simulating a PEC shape as well as the NASA almond in all dielectric utilizing a .mat file input. Is there a way to include more than one material? Say that I want a PEC body with some other non-PEC material on top of it? Is this supported, or will it be supported in the future?
Thank you!!!

Currently, the Antenna Toolbox does not support RCS computation for objects that contain both PEC and dielectric materials. RCS analysis is supported for PEC-only structures and for dielectric-only structures.
