    Hello,

    In the latest preview version of URP 10 the Clear Coat effect was moved from the Lit shader to the Complex Lit shader. Select the Complex Lit shader to enable the Clear Coat check box (see the attached screenshot).
    Sorry that the documentation is not updated yet!

    Thanks for the response. I do not have a complex shader and am using 10.0.0-preview26 from package manager on 2020.2.b2. Is there a way to enable complex lit shader or do I need a version thats not available yet in package manager? If so how do I install the proper version?

    Sorry, I have confused the URP versions:
    What I wrote is valid for URP 10.1.0-preview.25, which is the latest available preview version in the Graphics repository:
    https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/tree/master/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal

    If you would like to try the latest development version:
    1. Clone the Graphics repository (https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics), or use the following link to download the zip archive with the content of the repository:
      https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/archive/master.zip
    2. Follow the instructions on installing a package from a local folder to install the following packages:
      * com.unity.render-pipelines.core
      * com.unity.shadergraph
      * com.unity.render-pipelines.universal
    If Clear Coat does appear in 10.0.0-preview26, that might be an issue in the package. Let me know if you are interested in a possible workaround to make Clear Coat appear in the Lit shader (in 10.0.0-preview26).

    Sure let me know. I would like to stay with package manager if possible for ease of upgrading etc.

    To show the Clear Coat check box in URP 10.0:
    In the following file:
    com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@10.0.0-preview.26/Shaders/Lit.shader

    uncomment the following line (remove "//" at the beginning of the line):
    Code (CSharp):
    1. //_ClearCoatSmoothness("Clear Coat Smoothness", Range(0.0, 1.0)) = 1.0
    The Clear Coat check box should show up in the Lit shader. The issue with this workaround is that the Smoothness property will not work on the Lit shader.

    This is fixed in URP 10.1. In URP 10.1 the Clear Coat feature is in the Complex Lit shader.
