Vented floor drains?

Should I vent the new floor drains? I think I read where if I run 3" pipe, I could omit the underground vent for the floor drain. What if a 2" floor drain was piped pretty close to the main line?

A drain needs a vent in order to work properly. A 3" drain can be farther from the wall where the vent will be than a 2" has to be.
