Select the wall and change - Floor Plan Settings - to Cut Only.

I think I found it...but it doesn`t do anything !!!

can I simply make opacity or something? is that too complicated?

by the way...I am working on 1.storey and the drawing reference is in 0. ground floor (I don`t know how to move the drwa to 0.ground floor)

Document/ model view options/ options for fills and zones/ show cut fills contours only.

and check your "Floor Plane Cut settings" so that you are cutting the wall at the correct height.

One more thing, if still having problems.
Check to see what the height of the story is you are working on.
I have found that a story has sometimes ended up at very short height, (1'-6") for what ever reason, I don't know, but things will look normal in 3d, but not in 2d, even if your: "Floor Plane Cut settings" are correct.
