This review discusses the large-scale geometry and kinematics of envelopes around evolved stars, as inferred from radio line observations of circumstellar molecules, as a function of the evolutionary stage of the central object. In particular, the drastic change in morphology from largely spherical envelopes around asymptotic giant branch stars to distinctly non-spherical neutral envelopes around planetary nebulae is addressed. In addition, the small-scale structure of the envelopes, i.e., whether the circumstellar medium is smooth or clumpy, is discussed. Finally, a scenario for the morphological evolution, based on the assumption of a highly clumped medium, is presented.
