    Hi Aliya,

    You will need to create a new dimension style in which you set the colour of the dimension lines to white.

    If you mean a wall in shaded view in an elevation or 3D view, you would create a material having the colour you want and paint that onto the wall, or else define the wall's external material ( finish ) to have that property.

    I might even compose a camera view, with color, then use a color picker utility to select a
    color in that view for your vanishing dim.

    Here's a free cool tool for lots of tricks like that:

    I assume for this sort of thing you would be working in coarse view, in which case it's easy to change the solid fill colour of different wall types so that you get a visual indication that they are, infact, different types.
