I you already have, or upgrade to, AECOsim Building Designer SS5 you may be able to find appropriate manufacturer's components in RFA format to use within ABD via our RFA Interpreter. If the RFA contains parametric properties these will be usable in ABD (subject to the quality of the original RFA). 
 You can create a shutter door using Parametric Cell Studio as mentioned in response your previous thread about Sliding Doors . 
 Just curious: 
 a) what kind of shutter doors are you looking for? 
 b) what level of detail/definition do you or the ultimate users of your data require for these doors? (What project stage are you at?) 
 c) how many of these doors are there in your project? Is it, for instance, a distribution centre where an entire wall is just a row of loading bay doors or are there just one or two in a service bay?

I would also like to offer another option that you may want to consider, the is a tool in the SS5 release called the RFA interpreter. Without going into great detail, it will allow you to find any cell that you like and add it to the data group system within AECOsim Building Designer.
