I’m struggling to create a motor rotor like this:

Yeah, I can use a loft using splines as guidelines for it but the guidelines are not applied to the whole loft. They route a loft just in the places where the guidelines are and some areas around them. I practically need to have as many guidelines as needed to have the loft bent the same in the centre and sides.  
As a side question: how to make a side of a cylinder to be an area for further loft action?

Whenever I project an area it doesn’t fit perfectly with another side of the loft.
