How do I get the Layers tab to show in the Properties menu? In other posts where people have asked this, the answer was that you needed to switch out of local view into global view for the Layers tab to appear. However, even when I was in Global View, the Layers tab was still not there. Please help me.
The screenshot you added in the comments is from an old version of blender. Since 2.67 the render layers have their own tab in the properties.
