    The big pipe is the toilet. The 2" pipe in the wall will run up inside the wall to a 2"sanitary tee stubed out to pick up the lavatory and continue out the top of the tee as a vent for the group where it will go out the roof or revent back into a dryvent.
    The 2" pipe out in the floor is a shower drain, however if it is setting in the center of a 14X14" square hole then it's a tub dapout for a bathtub.
    Good luck, Tom
