A two-part material question
-
use my color ngon plugin to colour a face the has more than # edges.
then select these faces by right clicking the texture in the materials browser
then triangulate this selection
do this in chunks

GOT IT!!
First I deleted anything that was not mine, namely the plants and tree. That got rid of all the tiny green textures. The only ones left seemed to be red, about the color of the Coke machine. Deleted that, and no more tiny textures. Down to just 137 textures now.
Now I'll try copying and pasting it and triangulating it, see if that works.
(should have known better than to download something from the Warehouse. Guess I'll have to learn to make my own plants and trees. Great! one more thing to learn

please don't start making other stuff...every you do turns to gold

Well, triangulation didn't seem to agree with my Coke machine --
Don't know why this model should cause a problem, just used normal methods.

Actually another color is more accurate...sort of brownish

Can you send me the Coke machine and I have a blast?

You want the triangulated or non-triangulated version?
-
non-tri with textures not f$&ked up
-
Oh, I get it now....."Coke" machine
-
Ok, here it is. Keep in mind that it is just "set dressing" and not meant to stand up to close scrutiny as a stand-alone model.

This exported as one texture as a .kmz for me

Well, I didn't export the Coke machine to check the textures, I just deleted it from my gas station model and then exported it, and the small textures went away. Does that give you any insight as to what's going on?
-
so what exactly is yor problem now?
your original post was 'why do I have so many textures?' Then 'why is it taking ages to triangulate?'
So I took those to mean your were trying to export this as kmz to see if you get lots of textures?

Well, I went thru everything again, and discovered that I had made a major mistake. When I thought I had just deleted the Coke machine, I had in fact also deleted the red trashcan. When I export just the trashcan, I get all the tiny textures.
My apologies, I'm tired, I'm cold, and I need coffee.

no worries, can i have the can to do the can can?
