Hello @Luis_Manuel_Espinoza ,

You would make it easier for anybody willing to help if you would take a look at the following [guidelines](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) and provide a nicer code formatting.

One quick improvement can be the removal of allocations associated with: `coords[i, :] = [parse(Float64, d) for d in data[2:4]]` line.

A potential replacement is this:

```julia
for ii in 1:3
    coords[i, ii] = parse(Float64, data[ii+1])
end 

```
