What you have to do is create a sketch, or several sketches, that represent the centerlines of the frame members. You then save and insert this part into an assembly. Then, under Design Accelerators, you use the Frame Generator tool to create your frame by selecting the lines. You can then add "end treatments" that will help you make the members the right length - you can make them flush, add a mitered edge to corners, or other similar operations.

This video goes into a bit more detail, and shows an example of how FRC teams might use the tool.

Thank you that's exactly what I needed.
