DXF for CAD

The DXF export gives your CAD team a layered, real-world-scale drawing to take into detailed design.

What you get

From the Export section, choose DXF. The file comes out in metres, with elements on separate layers — boundary, roads, footways, plots, houses, parking, landscaping and annotations — so your engineer can turn parts on and off and build on them.

Terraces in the DXF

Where a scheme has terraces or semis, houses are split across layers by their position in the run — HOUSES_SEMI, HOUSES_END and HOUSES_MID — so a schedule or a hatch can pick them out. Detached homes stay on HOUSES, exactly as before.

A shared party wall is drawn once, not twice. Two abutting houses would otherwise write two lines on top of each other, which reads as a doubled line and stops hatch boundary detection from closing.
