# Destructor Object

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Destructor object** in **Cinema 4D**'s legacy particle system. It removes particles whose axes enter its volume — controlling particle lifetime spatially, for example ending a stream at a wall or drain.

The Destructor modifier enables you to destroy (i.e. remove) particles from the particle stream. Particles are affected by the Destructor if the origin of their local axes lands within the boundaries of the Destructor (the size of the particle object plays no part here).
