Ive never had to vent a toilet like this.Because of the big beam to the right and no room in floor[2nd story]i have no other options.This project is not subject to inspection.Theres no other fixtures near to drain into vent so it will be a dry vent.My question is are there any other options and how problematic will this toilet be?[rs1320.pbsrc.com]

The vent will likely eventually close , isn't there a wall near the toilet that you could drop a vent down ?

so much depends on how deep under the slab the main drain is ??
if you have the height ?? leave the sink and its vent where they are and bring the sink drain over (below grade) and tie it into the vertical section of the toilet/shower vent. at least it would wash any of the flat vent below the slab.
remember, minimum size below grade is 2 inch..

What is the pipe to the right where you have a piece of wood with a blue line is that a shower? That doesn't seem to be vented unless it's outside of the camera view.

its hard to see how much depth you have there.
the toilet vent looks OK. the "Y" is rolled up and i can't imagine it clogging.
as for the shower...
flatten out that "Y" and bring the drain all the way to the back wall. put a 90 looking up and a san tee. out the top of that san tee for a vent and out the side for the trap arm.
or bring the drain to a side wall of the shower and do this..
as it stands the shower trap is not vented..

very good with the shower vent. it can be 1 1/2 inch
as i said, i don't see a problem with the toilet vent..it isn't perfect but it is (in my book) OK..
