I did a project recently that had a metal cladding for siding. I'm not shure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I did. I made a thick outer composite layer with a metal exterior material. Then I used small walls as a SEO operator on a hidden layer to give it a corrugated look.

You can also use the cladding library parts; however, that adds quite a few polygons ...

IMHO, except for extreme close ups, a good 3D fill and a good texture do the job quite well.

This is one of the details from that project. The metal cladding was horizontal and a square profile. This dosent sound like what you are looking for.
