I use the curtain wall tool to do this because I can change the layout if necessary.

AS you may know, you can also simply place am empty Curtain Wall (no pattern), then go to an Elevation, select the Curtain Wall, go to Edit Mode and simply draw the positions of the Frames (invisible Frames, so they would actually define the joints).

Method I tend to use is to model columns and beams where you want the score lines to be. Make sure the building material has a higher priority than the walls and place it on the hidden layer.
Columns and Beams do not need to be substituted from the walls (ie. no need to use Solid Element Operations) as they subtract automatically when hidden. I find this to work very well.
