I'm trying to create a possibility to easily make corrugated metal walls. This I was going to do via a curtain wall.

 Although, it seems as if I'm not skilled enough, so I will need som help.

 

I wonder what way i should go? I've been trying to create a "Curtain Wall Panel", but I don't know how to make it auto-adjustable in height? which seems to be the biggest problem atm..

 If anyone could help or give me some guidlines it would be awesome.

I would never model corrugated wall panels because you will overload your model.  We use a material type to render them and use a pattern for elevation views.

I'm using Revit 2011.

 

WWHub do you have a useable material-picture that you might want to share?

 It would be nice to be able to do it, as it won't be used in any huge-scale projects and therefore the computers will be able to handle it to a certain limit.

Doesn't the curtain panel just fill the curtain grid to achieve it's height and width ?
