Twisting an object

Hi there!
I started messing around with the program an hour or so ago, and made this:
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e9b8359599e4418de64e1386/w/6e59b0efe536d6df6de0e1ea/e/84a95fe7ef5ff959783ed573
After I created it, I thought I would see what it looked like with the small end twisted 90 degrees.
Now, I came from 3D software such as 3DS Max, and in that, you would simply select the object you wanted, give it a twist modifier, then tell it how much you wanted it to twist by.
However, I can't figure it out here. I tried searching for other people with the same problem, and the answers describe needing to create the object with the twist already in mind.
What do people to when they've created a complicated object, then want to twist it?
Is there an easy way to do it, like in 3DS Max?
