Orthographic View Error??

Some people have had this experience before? When you render out from orthographic view, edges are also render out (1).
I have never had this experience until last week and I was wondering why?

1 - This problem comes out only render out from orthographic view with lighting.
2 - Material, lighting and render settings are really standard, nothing special.
3 – This model comes from some furniture company web site and SketchUp format.

So what is the problem? I checked different areas I can think about and end up system scale and object scale. Now, 3ds max2010 connection extension can import SketchUp files but here is the problem part.
This model was created in SketchUp using Architectural scale. Then bring it in 3ds max that system scale was meters. I used Tape to measure the model size and that was ok but when I checked scale that was wrong.

Absolute scale was only 2.54 (2).
If you import 3ds or obj, those models are always 100%.



So I changed system scale to inches then import the file again.




The models size and scale are correct this time and that fixed this problem (3) (4).
