Yes. You SEO does work with a Mesh. The problem with using the mesh for the SEOporator sometimes is that you can 't adjust the nodes ( z) on the bottom of the mesh. You may need to make the adjustments in the top of the mesh, then convert it to a Morph for adjustments on the bottom before use using it for SEO. (Solid Element Operations)
Also, you may want to use some roofs. You can convert a Mesh to a Roof in 2D view. Doesn't work in 3D view. Using roofs gives you good control over slopes.
If you could post a picture of the topo we could make more useful sugestions based on the kind of slopes your working with. Roads, parking, etc... ?
Also you can make some very useful scheudles for the volumes to be excavated and volumes for the different types of fill. For example you might like to know the volume of each type of material in a road way. You can label them with notes about compacton lifts...things like that. ArchiCAD is a great tool for Site Plans / Excavation Plans...

Invert the mesh you use for SEO by entering a negative number in the mesh height (-9000 in this case). then use element info to give you the volume of the mesh.
