You could try one of the cartoon renderers (cartoonReyes, NRP1, Illustrate!, finalToon). Max also has its own Ink'n'Paint material...

sometime it's takes very long to import .maybe becouse i build model in autocad or ADT and export as 3ds for rendring. i belive if u build clean model in 3dmax or viz ,should be no problem and it's work well this faces than autocad 3d face. Again it's good to split model if it's too big or many building.
