I have got a shapefile and I only want to extrude the boundary layer and leave the centre hollow. Any tool to help me do this? If not is there a way to do this by calculating normal vector and then using appearance setter to make the centre transparent?

Presuming you are starting with a polygon, you could coerce to a line with the geometrycoercer and then extrude
