How do you step down baseboard to transition to different floor heights?
Answers:
Well....the angle or the step down will effect how you can do this....the problem is that if you are using a 3 or 4 inch base and you change the elevation the plain of the angle you cut will be longer on one of the 2 pieces....a Plenth block will help hide this...A plenth block is a short piece of wood that you can terminate the base into....another way is to make a return at the point where the floor changes....then start the base at the lower leave...this will keep the profile....

Go to your home improvement store and ask them but, from what I have learned you would just cut it with a miter cut and step it down just like a set of stairs looks like. Try www.diynetwork.com or www.hgtv.com and search it out.

Look at my linky.
The easier way is the one on top. You only have to cut the diagonal piece. The bad part is that you lose the bottom part of the baseboard, and the baseboard designs may not match.
The bottom one is a bit more difficult. You cut all the boards to make them match up. Getting the cuts to match up is a bit difficult.
