I’m sorry isn’t the 4.7.0-2017-06-11 is the latest version?  
For the DICOM data, I tried to import the dataset but an error says “can’t load (name of folder) as DWI Volume as a Diffusion Volume”. It was importing normally in the previous version i used for Slicer though.

The steps are as follows:

- go to Segment Editor, choose Scissors tool, cut the desired part (from the nhdr slices in this case).
- go to Data module, right click on the segment made, export visible segments to binary labelmap
- go to Mask Scalar Volume, choose the nhdr images as input volume, choose segmentation-label as Mask Volume, create new volume for the output volume.  
-click apply.  
Then the black window appeared as below. I expexted to see the desired part cut.
