Tool_part_cost_estimator (amitkumarshukla1210)MCADConfidence: Medium

Two steel grades added in an earlier PR could be chosen but had no sheet-materials row, so sheet tools, tool cost, part cost, tool drawings, and the process sheet all failed for them. Part cost also crashed when a material had no density, and draft correction crashed when OpenCascade rejected a face on a large plastic tub.
