Hello,

I would like to use the magic wand, not to create a 3D model, but to mask the dicom itself. Is it possible?  
I have seen some tutos about the segment editor tools like grow from seed, refine etc, but it will give me a plain model without textures or possibility to change the contrast on the 3D window.

Thank you for your help!

“Magic wand” usually refers to selecting similar regions when you click on a single point in the image. This feature is available in “Flood filling” effect in Segment Editor (provided by SegmentEditorExtraEffects extension).

Here is a short demo video:
