    I think you are looking for the shell feature:

    I did it this way:
    Create pyramid > Shell >  (x) Hollow  > Select Part
    See picture 1 & 2.

    I can find neither pyramid nor shell. Is this still possible with today's version (Oct 19th, 2019 | 1.104.24384.815574cc05b7)?

    There is no pyramid feature, you have to sketch a rectangle and a point and use Loft. Shell is there if you look for it (or use the command search).
