    I want to export my model as a plain lineart so I checked Hidden Line and choose transparent PNG. But when I successfully exported it, the background is transparent but the model has white fill color (attached image).

    How can I export with a fully transparent background? I just want the lines only.

      It's easy enough to post-process the image...
      Give the model a simple pure-white background.
      Export the PNG...
      In Photoshop / Gimp [or similar image-editor] choose the magic-wand tool and click any white pixel in the model's image to select all similar pixels.
      Hit delete and they are all gone.
      Repeat this with the background as necessary - e.g. if that's considered different color pixel-wise...

      Save changes - you should now have a transparent PNG with black line-work...
