Vent Pipe
I am remodeling my basement bathroom. The drain pipes were never vented I have re plumbed everything I plan to tap into a vent line about 15ft away. My plan is to run the vent pipe (2”) up the wall and along the ceiling. Where I plan to tap the vent line I do not have a lot room. My question is can the vent pipe that runs from the floor then along the ceiling drop down 3 to 4 inches before making the connection to the vent line or will this cause a problem?

Unfortunately no, vents always have to continue up the same way drains always go down. As soon as you drop a vent, it can make it ineffective.
Also, the vent that you're tying into, is there anything draining into it from above?

The best I can tell there is no water in this pipe. it runs along the main stack. I believe it taps back into the main stack on the second floor. this runs to just above the basement floor the into the stack. if this is used just for air I don't see any way for it to clog.
