corrugated wall opening

Hi,

I have a shipping container family to which I am trying to add doors and windows.

could anyone please help me on making openings on the corrugated wall?

 

I am attaching container family here.

There are several solutions.
-You can make a face based family with a void to cut holes in the container. You probably also have to make your doors and windows, but not as normal Revit door or window families.
Normal Revit Doors and windows are always placed in a wall. Because your container is not a wall you can not host standard doors or windows.
-As alternative you can place a small wall inside the created opening and then host a normal Revit door or window.
-If you create your own doors and windows you can place the void element in there.
-You also can edit the container family and create your doors ans windows in there (depending on the amount of variations)

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Typically you would just use generic model face base family and create void depression into the face. Afterward you basically create your door and window family from the void depression. Here are the face base window and door families that I've made for my other project.

Use a SOLID (not void) mass to cut it.

Insert your Shipping Container Family into an In-Place Model Family, Categorized as "Wall".  

 

Edit your Window/Door families and replace the Opening with an Unattached Void Extrusion that fully penetrates the Host Wall and then some. Check "Cuts with Void when Loaded" and reload into the Project. You can now cut the In-Place Wall Family containing the Shipping Container Family with the Window's Void Extrusion using Cut Geometry tool in the Project. 

 

Additionally, I would lose your loadable "Panel" and "Stud" Families and replace them System Families.  You'll have a much easier go of it overall (especially the framing) -- and you'll pack more valuable "I" into your "BIM" Model.
