when putting skylights in on my roof i am unable to rotate them. i can only move them in 3d mode and not rotate them, the same in plan view but i cant do anything here - cant even select them they just show up as a hole in the roof

This may be something peculiar to the skylight you are using. It may be written to orient itself to the roof slope. I have created some "skylights" to use as fixtures in suspended ceilings and had no trouble rotating them at all.

I believe this is the case with most (if not all) AC skylight objects.

If it is 1x3m sloping down the roof (as it always will) make it 3x1m.
