Re: A Better Render
I'd be interested to know how you changed the models?
When you open the project file I linked to, you can see what I have done if you open Modify on your models: All the edge color instances have been set to Invisible. Sketchup models are a bit messy and need to be cleaned.
My settings are quite universal, and will often render a nice image. If you open Modify 3D view , you will see that I have added a white solid texture to the sky. When selecting Enable sky lighting , you actually enable the sky to act as a source for image based lighting (IBL). You could have a look at THIS THREAD if you want to read more about IBL.
You might also find some useful discussions and examples HERE.

Re: A Better Render
As said before, these weird images are because of back faces in DAE / Collada files. Hide their material as you did for edges.

Re: A Better Render
Hiding the back faces won't show any difference in the 3D view or at the two lowest quality levels.

Re: A Better Render
The image you posted in your previous message shows the 3D view not a rendered image.
