Albert, I'm not sure what you're referring to, but if you're the person who made the file Jonas sent me to look at, I'll be able to comment. If you _are_, then you need to go to the Top view of your model in the Editor and zoom WAY in to the walls. Eventually, you'll be able to see that the walls are actually made of 2 faces (inside and outside) that are about 0.000001 unit apart from each other (that model must've been made in a CAD program, somehow). With rendering software, putting faces on top of each other like that is extremely illegal (they are called coplanar faces). You've got to go back to your CAD program and either made the walls a few inches apart, or just punt the inside wall altogether and make the outside wall out of a 2-sided material.
