Omega 4 add region to layout I've found info to add regions to a custom layout in an Omega 4 subtheme. 
Regions need to be declared in theme.info, layout.inc and then printed/rendered in layout.tpl.php.

I've done all that and they don't appear on the page after cache clearing.

Note: 


They do appear in /admin/structure/block (I can add blocks to the
regions there but they aren't displayed on the actual pages). 
The regions also appear if I edit the theme.info file, and
templates/system/page.tpl.php file, and disable the use of layouts in
omega 4 subtheme settings.


Code i used in following files:
/theme.info

regions[footercolumnone] = Footer Column one
regions[footercolumntwo] = Footer Column two
regions[footercolumnthree] = Footer Column three
regions[footercolumnfour] = Footer Column four


/layouts/owr/owr-layout.tpl.php

&lt;div class="l-footer-column1"&gt;&lt;?php print render($page['footercolumnone']); ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="l-footer-column2"&gt;&lt;?php print render($page['footercolumntwo']); ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="l-footer-column3"&gt;&lt;?php print render($page['footercolumnthree']); ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="l-footer-column4"&gt;&lt;?php print render($page['footercolumnfour']); ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


/layouts/owr/owr.layout.inc

regions[footercolumnone] = Footer Column one
regions[footercolumntwo] = Footer Column two
regions[footercolumnthree] = Footer Column three
regions[footercolumnfour] = Footer Column four
I found that my /layouts/owr/owr.layout.inc file still said: template = simple-layout instead of template = owr-layout Changing it to the latter fixed my issue. Don't know why/where that parameter is used though.
