OrthoCAD- (kdho77)MCADConfidence: Medium

OrthoCAD G-code preview posted to a Railway app that no longer exists, and the UI showed only Manufacturing service error (404). The apex_light material was never sent, and the move to VertexSlice now fails outright if the chosen material is not on the slicer instead of falling back to another preset.
