The drain for the hall bath can not drop down as shown on your drawing. You create an S trap. Vent the hall bath separately and tie it into the new vent pipe.

one option is to just rough in the hall bath drain inlet lower, and minimize that my using a sanitary tee with a street/spigot connection at the bottom for the master bath sink and the hall bath santee goes right below that.
another option if both needs to be at the same height could use a figure 5 double fixture fitting but that drain needs to be in between the two.

2 out of 3 of these drawings are correct. guess which one is not ? hope you can take some kidding...
follow either of the other drawings. whichever is easier for your drilling etc.

Must be a big obstacle in the attic for the vent to do such a detour back and forth.

Yes, I am moving the wall 1', and it wound up directly under a ceiling joist, so there is no way to get a 2" vent pipe up inside the wall with complete drilling through the joist vertically. Likewise, I also moved the other wall 1' and the joist bay directly below is boxed in as an HVAC return, so I can't go down for a drain on that wall. I'll post some pics in a bit when I get them to upload.

the shower is stack vented. it is legal as long as it enters the stack higher than the toilet does. get up and look closely at that side inlet sanitary tee. the center of the shower inlet is about 1/4 inch higher than the center of the toilet inlet. tricky aren't the but it is higher. the rest of the job looks fine. actually the 3 x 2 san tee that vents the toilet should by code be a 'Y' but don't worry about it, it will work fine. good work..

Thanks Packy! That san tee in the toilet line is for the existing master bath sink/vent and will be replaced with a wye when I tie in the new sink drains. I appreciate the help, this project has been a challenge. I told my wife that plumbing is way more complex than people think, and it takes time to understand the rules and make sure the job is done right. Then 3 years later when I do the next bathroom I've forgotten everything I learned from the last project....

some of us older plumbers joke that if we took the plumbing exam now, they would take our license away.
