6TM?  Definitely not one of the large family of 7TM proteins?  There are
a couple of ways of modeling 7TM bundles, but I'm not sure how well
these will extrapolate to 6TM.

The pants way (definitely 7TM only):

The real way (may be able to be extended to 6TM - but probably not!):

Hope this helped?

Simon.
