DesignBuilder can import a whole 3D model from a gbxml file. That model can be directly exported to idf. Dxf import is only for 2D files which can be used to build the 3d model using DesignBuilder's drawing tools. A 2D plan imported in DesignBuilder cannot, therefore, be directly exported as an idf model.
