Before exporting
Check the dimensions on screen and correct any you measured with a laser meter. What you fix in the app is what arrives in the DXF.

From scan to DXF, without the clean-up.
A survey is only useful once it is in your drawing. Here is how to bring an ArchiScan 3D export into the main CAD programs and start working straight away.
AutoCAD and LibreCAD
Open the DXF directly. Check that units are set to metres, then insert the plan as a block in your drawing if you want to keep it separate from your own work.
ArchiCAD and Revit
Import the DXF as a linked drawing on the right level, at scale 1. Trace walls on top with the native tools, using the survey as a reliable underlay.
