You would load in the various timber beam / column families. Set there sizes accordingly and place the columns in plan then a beam in plan, set its offset from the level and repeat. For the beams it may be easier to create a struct framing family and load it in, then you can just copy it up in elevation.
You could also use a curtain wall and create various size mullions and make the panels empty panels.
Note if you want something like this at all windows, just open the window family and create a series of extrusions to match the look you want, then reload the window family.
I was looking at the freestanding portion of the image in my first reply.
