Imagine the floor being a piece of graph paper and each square is one foot. A toilet in the middle of the house might be 10' from the north wall and 12' from the east wall. Does that answer your question?
I usually use 45 degree calculations to layout my pipes. I have videos explaining the 45 degree triangle and 1.414. However on an underground I usually just stick to the principle that the two sides of a 45 degree triangle are the same. So for example if the pipe needs to offset to a wall 5 feet over, I will come away from the wall 5 feet and make a mark where the pipe is. That I create the diagonal and that is where I will dig the trench. Basically, I lay out the triangle on the ground and paint the diagonal.

Beautiful work. It's nice to see someone running drains on a 45. I don't see it very often.
Thanks!
What calculations led to the layout of the unground pipes ? Did you use A+B=C ?
