Desaturate in Photoshop or set the color mode to grayscale in Photoshop. Is this what you mean? I wasn't sure about the "black+white line rendering" part of the title.

i've also done some renderings where i render the building in wireframe view in max/viz and then render it with materials...then i overlay the two images in photoshop...you can create some pretty cool xray type images with this method

no no. stop there. too much. either:

A - in max, change the rendering engine from that which it is to hidden line rendering in the options menu, rendering. a drop down menu. cant miss it.

orrrrr

B - get sketchup. rhymes with...ketchup.

(sorry. couldnt resist)

You can use Final Render, if you have it. It has FinalToon and can do some pretty amazing things and output to vectors. I just did some renderings that had a similar Sketchup look, but with more details, shadows, reflections, etc. - they looked pretty nice if I do say so myself.

For a wireframe rendered as a bitmap, just group everything and check 'wireframe' in the material (that you applied to it).

Cheap way - in PS, duplicate your layer, desaturate colors, increase contrast, then hit Find Edges. It's not vector based and you can't change he line width, but it will give you lines.
