Hi Alex, sculpting is not the right tool for your task. PyMOL has all the basic editing features like rotating around a bond etc. Enter "Editing" mode, pick a bond with the mouse and rotate around the bond by pressing CTRL and click-dragging a second atom.
You can enter Editing Mouse Mode by clicking on the lower-right panel. Hope that helps.
