Try the Curtain Wall tool with the "Boundary" Geometry Method.

You can draw the boundary in Elevation.

You can make the Scheme to be an empty pattern - click the X button in the upper right corner to remove the scheme.

Then, in the Elevation, select the Curtain Wall and enter Edit Mode. Make the bottom Frame invisible. For the other three Frames, choose the "Profiled Butt-Glazed Frame" type, which will let you select a Profile for the Frames.
