Hi,

I'll answer your 3 questions "at once"

Usually, manufactures have BIM files you can use, with the exact profile they use in their sandwich panel/ tole sheet sizing.
A few examples:
Walls: https://www.bimobject.com/en/metecno/product/thermowall-kombi
Roofs: https://www.bimobject.com/en/metecno/product/hipertec-roof

You need to learn to use these as wall accessories, which is an addon: https://graphisoft.com/downloads/goodies/
And a brief description of them https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Accessories-Add-On/ta-p/303775

Same goes for gutters/ flashings.

If you do not find what you are looking for, you can always DYI - make custom profiles for what elements you need and model them accordingly.

Hope this helps.
