# Create LiDAR Recipes

In DDOE’s Annotation Platform, a Recipe is a comprehensive configuration that defines how data is annotated for a specific task. For LiDAR workflows, the recipe specifies the annotation tools, label schema, and settings used to annotate 3D point cloud data, enabling annotators to efficiently create structured annotations such as 3D bounding boxes, object classes, and attributes.

Annotations reflect real-world dimensions and spatial relationships, which are critical for downstream modeling.

**Supported tools and tasks include:**

- Cuboid and polyline annotation
- 3D segmentation
- Spatial object labeling in point clouds

This recipe is primarily used in autonomous driving, robotics, mapping, and simulation environments.

## Start Creating Recipes for LiDAR Tasks

1. Open **Recipes** from the left-hand navigation panel.
2. Click **Create Recipe** to bring up the configuration dialog.
