Hi, looks really good. Just one small comment - it would be worth explicitly mentioning that the user will need to reduce the Motor-CAD template 'airgap' size to make room for the new rotor air region.

It would be useful to mention that the user will need to manually change the 'airgap' template dimension, as the template value will need to be (in this example) 0.1 mm less than the actual airgap size, so the total 'airgap' plus 'rotor air' region matches the correct value.

New section for the Adaptive Templates User Guide. I wanted to make clear that users should keep the Airgap a continuous band of equal thickness, and any modifications should be done by adding Air regions to the Rotor/Stator.
I also wanted to describe how it is necessary to add a band of air to the Rotor/Stator if we want to add narrow regions such as those shown below:
The above causes issues when meshing. Instead, the user should add an air band as shown below:
