The avgCurves node computes as output the weighted average of two input NURBS curves. The computed curve is also rebuilt to match the knot sequence of the input curve which has a fewer number of knots or lesser degree.

The user may choose to normalize the weights by setting the attribute 'nw' to true. Weights may be automatically assigned to the input curves by setting the attribute 'aw' to true. If 'aw' is true, then the value set at the attribute 'nw' is ignored.

Can be used to do add or subtract two NURBS curves.
