HELP!!! How to cut this window opening in revit?

Hey! I was wondering if there is a way to automatically cut window opening into insulation layer with offset of 30mm from both sides like it is on the picture. I used to do it trough edit wall profile or create wall opening but it takes too much time when you have many windows. I know that you can join geometry but that does not offset the insulation layer. 

 

I also tried modifying the window family by adding void layer to the exterior side  but the family cannot affect any other layer except the one where it is attached i suppose.  

 

Keep in mind that insulation and structural layers are 2 different walls, not one layerd component.

Instead of using window opening, you would use void to cut those opening. See attached family as sample
