It's fixed now! The only thing I did different was open 3dsmax and instead of testing a new box/lods in the new scene, I chose to open the box002 scene i saved to which it popped up a "File Load, Units Mismatch" message about scene scale adoption and I chose "Adopt files unit scale?" (In pic) And as you can see the frame rendered correctly around the box!
Even more bizarre, I even tried to recreate the problem by (again) opening 3dsmax, starting yet another box/lods in the new scene and it still works correctly! I couldn't recreate the problem even if I wanted to.

@Girafe The only thing I recall in the bat4max installation process as far as needing to pay attention to settings was something about keeping gamma at 2.2. So if anything was to be done about dimension settings, bat4max was already properly programmed. (apparently)
@mattb325 The grid was slightly off scale (10m spacing instead of 16m) but the problem was solved before I got a chance to test that adjustment, thanks for pointing it out anyway!
