Can we access the properties of "attached" 3D model on ReCap Pro?

Dear colleagues
Thanks to kind members of Autodesk community, I was able to find that 3D CAD object file formats such as .obj, .fbx, .rvt, and .dwg cannot be directly imported to Recap Pro, and it can only be loaded as "attachment"(reference: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/NWD-file-in-a-Reca...
So I was able to see the model on my project.
However, when I try to access its properties, such as its coordinates and length, I do not seem to be able to access it. When I hover mouse over the CAD model object, it does not recognize the target. I tried to measure the distance between my target object(shown as white box beside the square lights with only bottom side is revealed) and the point cloud box, but it does not recognize the target model object.
I believe that only "attaching" 3D model to the project means that I am not able to access the properties. So I am almost convinced that I cannot access its properties unless I use Navisworks or AutoCAD. But, I am just wondering if anyone is able to see its properties, like clicking on an edge point will give me the coordinates, on Recap Pro. If there is no other way, should I only be able to do it in Navisworks like below?
Also, if there is anyone that knows how to "import" the valid CAD model object instead of just "attaching", please kindly share me the knowledge.
Thanks.
