not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, you can use the mesh tool to create a sloped driveway by creating the contours and setting elevations.
I use a roof for sloping driveways, sidewalks, and garage slab.

It covers the best way of creating a path/driveway that follows the contours of a mesh.

dwight showed me but i forgot how he did it..it was simple.
i looked through the website suggested below and it has been 3 hours that i still can't get the driveway slope to the mesh using the seo.

does the slab [driveway] has to be thicker than the mesh so when it's intersected it's showing before proceed to doing the 2nd SEO?

i've set the driveway to yellow and the mesh to earth for contrasting color. the first step after 'intersect', the slab goes hidden.....

Ensure that the mesh is set to the "solid bodies" construction method. Solid Element Operations cannot be performed on surfaces - the elements must be solids.
