Trying to warp a multi-layered file.

[Garth34575062wb6r]

I have an artboard with series of stacked maps with individual counties traced as separate objects. I need to warp all the contents of all layers to a trapazoid where the top two corners move in a bit from the top edge and a curve along the top. Envelope Warp did not work for this, are there any other options?

Can you share a sample Illustrator file for inspection?

Also, you may provide a sketch that shows the desired result.

The rectangular map is what I have, and I'd like to distort it to the trapazoidal shape of the second map of Colorado.

Without taking a look at the original source file, it's rather hard to tell.

Basically, it should be possible with an envelope. You mentioned that it did not, but exactly what did not work with it?

I think I figured it out, there was a strange shape in the background that was causing it to distort incorrectly. Thanks for your help!
