Can animations from the Animation component run in the scene view?

Unity Engine

I do some simple animations on rocks just to give them a bit of movement in my game. Is it possible to simulate the animations without being in play mode? (not with Mecanim)

Here’s what I got but it doesn’t simulate in the scene view

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class AnimationHelp : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float Delay = 0f;
    private float DelayTimer;

    public float AnimScale;

    public float Speed = 1f;

    [Range(0,1)] public float PrewarmPercent = 0f;

    private Animation Animation;
    void Start ()
    {
        Animation = GetComponent<Animation>();
        DelayTimer = Delay;
        Animation.playAutomatically = false;
        transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        transform.localEulerAngles = Vector3.zero;
        transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
    }

    void Update ()
    {
        Debug.Log("DelayTimer: " + DelayTimer);

        if (Animation.isPlaying) return;

        DelayTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

        if (DelayTimer < 0)
        {
            var animState = Animation.CrossFadeQueued(Animation.clip.name);
            animState.normalizedSpeed = Speed;
            animState.normalizedTime = PrewarmPercent;
        }
    }
}

You need to sample the animation component to update all the animated properties live
