Into SketchUp Pro: install the ZF Scan extension once, then use "SketchUp: live point cloud" on the right and open that file from Extensions > ZF Scan > Load scan. The DXF buttons need no extension: in SketchUp choose File > Import, pick the DXF, click Options and set Units to match (Inches by default).
