Actors/Objects visible inside editor preview window, but not visible in Play mode

I:

  1. Deleted space station asset
  2. Deleted Matinee timeline for space station
  3. Re-imported the space station asset
  4. Dropped space station into scene
  5. Selected ‘Use Animation Asset’
  6. Selected the animation from the dropdown menu.
  7. Pressed 'Play, and it worked.

Seems like a problem when you have the asset automatically playing a stored animation and a Matinee timeline with the asset’s animation playing at the same time. Not sure, but that’s what it seems like. Thanks for your help.
