Print Range - Visible portion of current window

Im sure this is dumb, there are other ways to to do this, and you've probably have done it before, BUT just wanted to give a heads up on one way to print exactly what you want, especially if you use a widescreen monitor.  In Autocad, you can specify a box selection to print.  That is not availble in Revit.  Just:  Current Window (Entire Sheet View) Visible Portion of current window (What you see is what you get) and Selected views.

Revit takes the "Visible Portion" very literally.  Thus, however you can cut and zoom your window is exactly what you are going to get.  Therefore "unmaximize your window, reshape it and zoom as needed and you are DONE!  You never know.

Oh how I miss you stretch command. Please bring it to Revit, Autodesk.
