Lane:
I've run into this very situation on several occasions and my solution is to add a terrain perimeter and use  one of the many ground covers in my library as the surface and then blend the color of the terrain with the background using the 'Define Material. tool (the rainbow). Go to the 'texture' tab and in 'Material Color, check 'Blend with Texture' and then click on the eye dropper tool in the lower left corner of the color window to grab the color of your background. I usually finish by adding a fence or some plantings where the terrain meets the background...

You could do this a couple of ways.
Make a 3D solid from polylines to match the dimension of your wall and then make the top line a curve (you can use use a room divider to enclose your space). If you want to keep it as a wall, make a series of Kerf Cuts across the top (as per my crude example below)

Have you tried using the 'Change Swing Side' button? It's on the lower toolbar.

Not sure if this is the same hardware you used but this is what I got using a stock pull:
Core Catalog / Architectural / Hardware/ Cabinet Hardware / Pulls / Integrated Pulls
Once you specify it, check on 'Vertical Position' or 'Horizontal Position', 'Distance from Top' or 'Distance from Edge' - enter 0" or whatever value meets your needs.
 

 
Click on 'Edit...' if you need to rotate it.
 
 
 
 

Just do it as a railing. Specify the height in the 'Newels/Balusters' tab and in the 'Rail Style' tab, select 'Solid' and in the 'Wall Types' tab select a block wall.

Try drawing a regular wall (you can make it narrow) and then install a large window with a very thin frame. You can then add your mullions with the standard tools.

You can specify separate materials for the upper and lower sections of a pony wall. Use a glass shower wall at the top or just a framed wall with windows.

Select your rail then:
Click on 'Newels/Balusters' In the 'Newels/Posts' section, enter the desired width and spacing In the 'Type' section, click on 'Library' and navigate to your chosen column Click on  'Rail Style' from the menu and go to the 'Start /End Posts' section to determine where on the rail you want a column  

I did this by specifying a profile for the Frieze & Shadow Boards...
 

Open the object DBX and in the '3D' tab, click on 'Reflect Geometry'.

You can render it in Standard style or if you want to use Vector, just delete the upper corner board then drag the lower one up.

Thanks Tea, that did the trick!

Custom lites are very simple to draw, take a look at this https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00930/creating-custom-muntins.html

In the 'General' tab of DBX for your door, specify 'Percent Open" in the 'General' section.

Open the DBX for the cabinet and go to the 'Door/Drawer' tab, from there you can make the adjustment to the 'Door handle'.

I made a few adjustments:
 
Camera settings - Turn off Bloom, Set Ambient Occlusion to 25%, Set lighting for 'Default Light Set'
Rendering Techniques - In Std tab set Ambient to 0. In PBR, set 'Camera Exposure' to .15, 'Daytime backdrop Intensity' to 25.
 

 
This should get you started. From here, you can adjust the lighting, sunlight and shadows and also work on your material properties.
Hope this helps -Eric
 
 

Thanks for the tips. After much experimentation, I found that assigning a reflective material class with high reflection value works best.
