Confused about the Component Report Workflow

Hi,

I have multiple nested groups within the main group. When I create a component report, it creates two rows, one with the Name of the main outer group (in my case called Dachlicht) and one row for the nested groups called TL1.6A. 

Would it be wiser to take a quantity takeoff of the nested groups instead of the main group? 

Or should I take a QT of the main group and simply increase the count number? And of course switch off 'Report Child Objects'

  The outer group appears in the report because you have cost data assigned directly to it (30 euros).  If you delete the cost data associated with the outer group, it will not be displayed in this report since there is no data associated with it.  You can see in the report that the nested groups have inherited the cost data of the outer group.  That way, you are not counting the same cost twice.

  I'm not sure what approach is wiser.  It depends what you are interested in and how your model is setup.
