Save it as a dxf, then create a new extrude in Creo, import the data into the sketch for the extrusion. Sounds like you are probably doing that part correctly. I'm not sure what you mean by wavy but if your extrusion is long enough compared to the wall thickness or section width then you'll need to increase your shade quality and/or model accuracy.
