i got gold and gems veins where my dormitories will be, however i don't want either to have diferent colored walls not "unengraveable dwarven constructed walls"(altough i can carve fortifications on them), neither engraved/unengraved walls, that would also sux.

is there a way to get the gold and still have the place looking like it was only granite from the start and never had gold on it? even if i can blow some of the walls with D+N and some won't, as long as they look the same.

You can not do that ... either settle for coloured gold/gem walls or construct granite walls from blocks.

I'd go with granite blocks walls. Engravings are not that important and they usually make stuff look worse and you could use gold/gems.

You do know you can toggle engravings to look like normal walls and floors, right? And that's there's an init option so you don't have to use the V designation?

I know it looks unappealing to the eye, but it also boosts the value of the room to have gems and gold in the walls. At least once its engraved.

Dig it all out, make arrangements for magma and water, combine into a giant obsidian cast in which you can later dig perfectly uniform, super-dwarfy rooms!

Consider yourself lucky, I have zinc in my walls and could care less if they get dug out or not. Wooden and glass traps, ho!

Dig out the whole room and artificially make walls. In all honesty, a few granite statues would do more good then engraving the wall. Everyone loves furniture.

Spot on.  In all seriousness I'd say if it bugs you, level it all and make something awesome out of it. Then rebuild your dormitories somewhere else.

Depending on whether you're using tilesets, Phoebus's engraved walls look almost identical to regular walls anyway, so it cán be avoided.

Drop ceiling and dig again.
