Controlling retaining wall height and appearance?

Is there any way to raise a retaining wall so that it extends above the terrain, and add a top cap to the wall?

I've got my retaining walls, they follow the grade pretty well, but I can't find the option to control height above grade on the retaining wall. 

I want to create something like the attached image. 

 

Thanks!

Terrain Retaining Walls just don't work very well for this configuration.

The best way I know of is to draw it as a Railing Wall then open the dbx and

  • Set it to a Solid Wall
  • Add a Top Rail (maybe a 3x12 "Handrail")
  • Adjust the Railing Height in the Newels/Balusters Tab
  • Click "Foundation Wall" in the Foundation Tab
  • Set the Materials as desired
