I think what you're going to need to do is split up the surface and move the 
points on the spline where you moved it, for instance if you have a piece of 
paper:

+--------+
 |         |
 |         |
 |         |
+--------+

You'll need to add some additional sections to it like:

+--+--+--+
 |   |   |   |
+--+--+--+
 |   |   |   |
+--+--+--+
 |   |   |   |
+--+--+--+

and move the points in the middle to bend the surface. If the surface isn't in 
the x, y, or z planes you'll have a real hard time doing this (getting the 
points lines up). sPatch could use a user drawing plane, but then again, 
AutoCAD spoiled me years ago with it.

Hope that is of some help....
