Plan / Axo view issues

Trying to render a plan or an axo I get planes triangulating on me. within a complex shaped plane that is one color many of the triangles appear as a slightly different color. In the past I have always changed from Parallel projection to perspective view with an extremely narrow field of view and that seemed to solve the problem... but does not seem to be helping lately. Any thoughts on how to get around this problem?

This has long been reported, with no resolution as of yet; I do not know what causes it, but in playing around with my main test scene for this, I may just have found a possible workaround: in SketchUp, use a perspective view, but in your Maxwell camera, set Optics > Lens to Parallel. With SketchUp's field of view set low enough, I am still able to produce the behavior, but as it is increased to over a few degrees, the surface begins rendering as expected.

With a Field of View set to 2 in skp and Maxwell set to parallel it seems to be ok. Did not work at 1.
Thanks that helps.
