Installing a corner shower in my bathroom and not sure how to vent it. I have to connect my shower drain to my sink drain that is already vented, can I run my shower drain 8 feet and use my sink and toilet vent, not sure if running my shower drain 8 foot to my vent is too far. The picture below...

I'm installing my cement backer board for my shower, it will butt against my drywall to make a transition joint. I wanted to extend the tile out to the end of my shower base then drop down to the floor with a bull nose running up to the ceiling for a finished edge, only problem is the bull nose...
