That's the entire purpose of the both the warp or transform function. If you have an extruded surface it can can be manipulated in any axis, based on any coord sys/axis/dtm you care to create. Translate rotates or moves the exact geometry in any direction you specify, and warp does the same with the added function of being able to distort, taper, twist, bend on multiple axis any way you want. Proceed with caution as the warp functions tend to degrade with major changes as those specify an envelope of alteration. But in my case it is an extremely powerful tool to blend parametrics with free form capabilities. Have not had time to study the freestyle functions of Creo, but they should make the situation even better with the ability to manipulate surface control points. This functionality comes with the advanced surfacing module, and let me know if I can help in any way.
