geniescience -- Thanks for the thoughts. I see where you were going with that idea now. Let me clear up one detail: the wall for the lav piping is a half height wall that I plan to add to the room for the lav, but it doesn't exist in the bathroom. Figured I'd use a deeper vanity top. The wall you're referring to running the lav drain through is an exterior wall that I was concerned about running any water pipes in due to outside temp, thus the layout avoids sending pipe down that exterior wall. Additionally, I can't get from that exterior wall to under the subfloor anyway due to a large 4x12 solid structural beam below the wall sole plate. The joists are in hangers on that 4x12 so even if I were to run the lav drain under the subfloor in the direction you mention, I'd still have to offset it from the wall to miss the joist hangers as I go through the joists (adding some bends) -- thus the routing in the original tub drain location as shown (one 1/4 bend diff so I chose the already bored route). Perhaps that's the answer though, just to get the vent closer...
Gotta to be a way to solve the shower vent. I'm not giving up, I like the new fixture layout too much...
