Great Work! The overview is realy nice.

3dsMax 'perspective' view also has some kind of focal length, only by default it's usually 45 degrees of FOV (Field of View), which corresponds to 43mm +/- FullFrame sensor (35mm).
In Sketchup, the Architect can use type either FOV or FOCAL LENGTH, (either type "45 DEG", or "43 MM").
If both you and the architect type 28 MM wide-angle focal length, it will look the same. Rectilinear projection looks the same everywhere, that's basic geometry, but I understand you well, I fought with architects and clients who have extremely poor understanding of perspective for years... it boggles my mind ! Sometimes almost to what-the-fuck point :- O. That's life. Just keep educating and explaing :- ).
One more thing is 2-point perspective from Sketchup, which in 3dsMax you activate by "Autovertical tilt correction".
Also, perspective is the same, but it appears more distorted the taller is your composition. 28 mm in 16:9 ration looks less wide than it looks in 4:3. Some people can be confused by that as well.No problem! Don't forget that you always have an option to increase focal length, move camera outside of the room and use camera clipping panes to see through walls. That would solve unwanted perspective distortion problem.
+1 Classic Archviz Fake :- ). Use with caution !
