Anyone know how dormer windows work?
I have watched a few tutorials but they all involve a full gable and a giant 2 story roof to make dormer windows. My question is if there is any way to get the window to work with the top floor of my ...

@Nore ahhh! I get it now! So you're trying to let the light into the second story room out back and not the lower floor! That's even easier, you'll just need to add another window lol. You see, there's two walls on either side of a roof. You can think of a roof as a room for now, it's not exactly the same but it's the same in terms of having walls.
So to put it simply, you need a window to see from out to in, and another window to see from in to out (back).

The example I gave before was if you wanted to let light from out to in, and then in to down. Thus you remove the floor.
Unfortunately though, for the earlier, there's no way to just remove a gable roof shaped opening, they can't be just deleted like you can with staircase walls, unless you use cc. Prolly doesn't exist but if you know how to make one, it's possible to achieve by using a glassless window cc that's the shape and size you need. You know, faking a transparent wall. Otherwise you'll just have to work with seeing two windows instead of one directly letting light in.
