There are a couple of boxed awnings in the Bonus Catalog:  Exterior Commercial Awnings.

Here's one we used in the past.

You can rotate it 180 degrees and inset it into the wall 4" to get a similar look.

I've also used corbels upside down to achieve the same look.

 

In the library there is one with supports that look like yours.

If you copy and paste in place a second one, then offset it you get this.

To increase the flat roof framing thickness create a solid or slab and color it to match.

This avoids trying to create those decorative supports.

Or copy the symbol and use stretch planes to size it how you want it.

Stretching on the Z-axis to thicken the roof joists also stretches the supports, their connections, the counterflashing depth & standing seam heights.image.thumb.png.3a2f356eb0a5f358259bb6ed72d8d729.png

Here, a 2'2" z-axis increase would put those supports into the roof overhang.

The Cheif catalog item will stretch some things out of shape, however, I think this was what @rgardner was meaning. Save it to your library first, then adjust the location of the stretch plane to the lower portion of the awning and it will only stretch that section of the awning. Add two stretch planes and you will get a different look again. While maintaining the proper shape of all the other components in both cases.
