Use the 'shelf' under the misc. menu to create your shelves first where you need them. In the editing window put a check in the 'glass' box and then set the 'edge height' to the thickness you want the shelves to be.

Then create a cabinet of the type you need (a tall one opening might be a good choice) and set the door type to 17 and the number of shelves to zero.

The reason for creating the glass shelves first has to do with the 3d rendering. If you don't do them first they won't show behind the glass door.

Looks like you have the rendering down. I saw all of your other work you posted and it looks great.

How did you show the sliding glass doors in the picture you sent?

I used mirrors in cabinet planer then switched them to thin glass in Kerky.
