What the drawing set should show
Typical project coordination needs include overall grid, post and beam positions, blade direction, head heights, drainage outlets, motor and control locations, fixing zones and interfaces to walls or slabs.

Louvre pergola CAD details and project drawing requirements.
A useful louvre CAD pack needs more than a plan outline. It should make the structural grid, moving roof, drainage, services and interfaces clear enough for the local design team to coordinate.

Direct answer
The short version.
Apollo can provide or coordinate current drawing information for selected louvre systems when it is matched to the exact project and product. Do not use a generic CAD detail as a substitute for project-specific structural, waterproofing or consent design.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Generic detail vs project detail
A generic family detail can explain how the system works. The final project drawing must reflect the actual spans, supports, enclosure, local loads and site dimensions.
Document control
Only current manufacturer or Apollo-controlled drawings matched to the selected system should move into a tender or construction pack.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Can I download a generic louvre DWG and build from it?
No. Generic details are coordination references only. Final project drawings and local engineering must match the selected system and actual site.
Can Apollo supply CAD files for architects?
Where current controlled files exist for the selected system, Apollo can provide them through the technical/project process.
Are CAD files the same as structural engineering?
No. Product geometry and project-specific structural engineering are separate deliverables.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
