You can add a location manually in any version of SketchUp. See Modeling Terrain and Other Rounded Shapes for details about importing and sculpting terrain as well as tips for modeling terrain that you want to display in Google Earth.

Wherever you place your model on imported terrain in SketchUp determines the location of your model when you preview it in Google Earth. When you geolocate your model with the Add Location tool, you can import terrain that enables you to create your model based on the site where you plan to build it (or just display it in Google Earth). To geolocate your model in SketchUp Pro 2017, import terrain using the Add Location tool.
