In my roughed in basement bath, there is a 12"x12" black plastic cover in the floor. Does that cover the shower/bath drain pipe? If so to gain access I guess I just cut the plastic away

That sounds like a protective cover over the tub dap-out. When you remove it you should find a trap and raiser. Good luck, Tom

Do I cut away all of the cover all away around? Sounds like the thing to do

Correct! Simply cut the plastic away. Good luck, Tom

The 2" drain pipe in the dap out does not come up the center so I can't get the tub drain into the dap out. Can I ell to it or 45
