Metal Wall Cladding - Window/Door Openings

Hi, I am working on modeling a house in Revit and I created a profile to represent metal cladding to add on the exterior of the home. I would like to add cutouts so I can see doors or windows through the metal cladding but It only allows me to do rectangular pieces. Is there a workaround where I can add the profile shape of the metal cladding onto the original exterior wall as a sweep, so it acts as one singular exterior wall.

You cannot build the Profile it into the Wall Family and usually it is represented with a Material representation of the Profile

There are manufactures content available for such types of Walls

You could look at using a Curtain Wall to wrap the wall and use the Metal Cladding Profile for a Panels and remove the Mullions?
