Macro-insert more than 1000 parts

I am doing a project to explore an automatic method to build the multi-electrode CAD model using SolidWorks. I try to use macro to insert more than one thousand electrode models to a head model. I have already calculated all the coordinates and normal vectors of each electrode. But when I insert the points, some points are missed. I have tried a lot of methods, it still doesn't work. How to write the macro?

Here is my codes:

' ******************************************************************************

' Function: automation electrode placement

' The line with a '*' should be changed if necessary

' There are some lines should never be changed

' ******************************************************************************

Dim swApp As Object

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

Set SelMgr = Part.SelectionManager

Part.ClearSelection2 True

Part.EditRebuild3

Input #1, X, Y, Z

' move to position

boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2(elename, "EXTSKETCHPOINT", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing, 0)

boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("", "EXTSKETCHPOINT", X / 1000, Y / 1000, Z / 1000, True, 0, Nothing, 0)

The points have already insert. The problem is that some points are missed, and it is a huge disaster.
