This could help people that suck at drilling through studs with proper grade.

When I was doing layout for a commercial job with high ceilings, then I'd use a laser. Much faster. But in residential for vertical vents, a plumb bob worked perfect. I've seen guys drop small screws from underside of roof, and when screw fell into vert. stack, then he knew where to drill roof for stack penetration.

I don't know what code you are referring to, but you can not run a vent flat.
"Vents shall be sloped to drain, by gravity, to the drainage system. Vents shall be free of sags, dips, and traps"

On standard 16" stud spacing your vents only have 3/32" per foot of fall. A little shy of the required 1/8" per foot. I mean if your gonna correct people and all. 
Just sayin'
