Reshaping envelope molds
Envelope molds are controlled using four mold handles around the object, each of which has two curve handles attached to it which allow you to alter the curvature of the sides of the envelope. Changing the envelope is very similar to editing a shape with the Shape Editor Tool.
Moving a mold handle
1. Select the molded object (see Selecting objects).
2. Choose the Mold Tool, Shape Editor Tool or the Selector Tool. If you choose the Selector Tool, you must enable edit handles (see Enabling edit handles).
3. Drag the handle to its new position (If several handles are selected, they will all move simultaneously. Shift-click to select additional handles).

Tips
You can edit a mold without your changes being reflected until you have the required shape. Click the Detach Mold button on the Mold Tool Infobar and make your changes. Deselect the button to remold the object.
The Mesh button on the Infobar displays a mesh over the selected molds which you may find helpful to visualize the mold shape.
