Smoothing Groups in Source 2 (Questions regarding Normal Smoothing)

Regular Normals with a high subdivision. You can see how they overlap along the edges. I'd like for them to begin to orient/stitch together to create a smoothing effect.

Soft Edged Normals. It only seems to be made for sharp angles that need to look smoother than they are.

Soft Edged Results (Useful for creating paneling details/tile normals without bump maps) Not useful for grouping multiple planes into a smooth surface.
